I am a Melbourne-based freelance filmmaker with a Graduate Diploma in Documentary from the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS). I specialise in creating clear, compelling visual stories for organisations, with a strong focus on authenticity, human connection and high-quality, cinematic production values. My background in documentary includes three films made through AFTRS - Messenger of the Bees (2024), Waves of Change (2024) and Voice Notes (2024) - each exploring women’s experiences and how individuals navigate social, cultural and environmental change. Two of these films are currently streaming on DocPlay. In my corporate work, I bring the same strengths I bring to documentary: thoughtful storytelling, a calm and collaborative presence on set, and the ability to translate complex ideas into engaging visual narratives. I enjoy working with brands, organisations and communities to create videos that not only inform audiences but deepen connection and inspire action.
