Collaborative, intuitive, creative and driven by story, I love being on set.

Lists as:

I’m a cinematographer and camera operator (SOC) based in Queensland, driven by a love of visual storytelling that captures truth, atmosphere, and emotion.

I’m drawn to projects that explore human connection- where light, movement, and composition work together to tell the story.

My experience spans narrative, documentary, and commercial work and I bring a collaborative, intuitive approach to every set.

As one of the few female DPs working in Queensland, I’m also committed to opening doors for others- mentoring upcoming crew and building more inclusive pathways behind the lens.
