A Bachelor of Arts in Film & Media Production - Griffith Uni (QLD) underpins my professional career path. Before branching out independently I’ve held National and International Sales Manager roles for Intelliware/Sibelius AU and Hosa Technology/Røde Microphones respectively. I lived and worked in the US for almost a decade,, travelling the globe extensively, gaining much knowledge and skill through those experiences. 

I thrive on melding the complex and creative juncture between equipment, operation and creative dreams - supporting artists, performers, teachers, promoters, management, venues, technicians and producers of live musical events to realize a vision. 

I aim to work inclusively and respectfully, providing services to public and private school sectors. I hold current DHS clearances and a variety of vehicle (MR) and specialized equipment (Forklift, Dangerous Work, TeleHandler) licenses. I hold current Public Liability Insurance, recent Advanced First-Aid and Fire Emergency training.
