I am an award-winning, multi-faceted artist based in Melbourne whose work spans acting, writing and directing for theatre, film and audio. In 2021, I founded The Dirty Twenty Podcast which won Best Host and Best Cast at the New Zealand Webfest in 2023. From 2022 to 2024, I wrote, produced and directed three original audioplays for international theatre company, The Theatre of Others. I was the Lead Writer for A Dance of Ribbons - a live action roleplay experience which ran from 2023 to 2025 and asserted itself as Australia’s premiere live-action roleplay experience and received funding from Creative Victoria in 2024. I am currently engaged as a freelance writer for StageMilk and We Are Explorers, and am directing my first film project which is set for release in early 2027.
