I'm a Melbourne-based writer and filmmaker with a strong background in hospitality and cinema operations. I recently completed a Master of Screenwriting at the Victorian College of the Arts, building on a BA with honours from The University of Melbourne, and I’m eager to bring storytelling, collaboration, and practical production skills to new projects. My experience managing cinema operations, coordinating teams, and delivering excellent customer service has given me a hands-on understanding of how films connect with audiences. I’m seeking casual or part-time work to contribute to a creative team while continuing to develop my craft.
