If you need someone who solves problems before they happen, leads crews through uncertainty and turns creative ambition into practical delivery… let’s talk.

For 15+ years, I’ve worked on productions where the pressure is high, the moving parts are endless and there’s rarely an obvious roadmap.

From large-scale construction and complex set builds to remote locations and fast-turnaround studio productions, I bring order to complexity. I anticipate roadblocks, find practical solutions and keep crews, suppliers, budgets and schedules moving together.

My sweet spot is the space between big idea and camera-ready reality: understanding what the creative team wants to achieve, then working out how we’re actually going to build it, source it, crew it, move it and deliver it.

I lead with clarity, back good people to do their best work and stay calm when the plan changes. I’m known for clear communication, high standards and good energy — keeping crews aligned and projects moving when things get complicated.

Gold Coast based, with extensive experience across studio, location and remote international productions, I’m always up for ambitious projects, great people and making big ideas happen.

Having worked in both short form and long form production, I have constantly worked to improve the clarity of my communication and my organisational skills. Having worked in both onset and offset roles, I bring an experientially informed – people first approach –  to any and all departments I work within. I find this increases efficiency within the department, and also improves integration with other departments.

I strongly value the working relationships forged during the course of a production, and those that are strengthened by encountering those same practitioners on later jobs. I believe this creates a more unified local and national film community.

Have worked in multiple states and hope to continue to find opportunities that take me elsewhere in the country to engage with other practitioners and learn from their experiences and about their unique local ecosystems.

Always looking to continue my development and positively contribute to the local film ecosystem through mentorship. Primarily this is done through support of attachment opportunities through national and state screen bodies as well as third party programs and educational institutions.
