I am a passionate creative educator and mentor with nearly thirty years of experience at the heart of New Zealand’s performing arts and media industries. My career has been defined by a deep-seated love for storytelling in all its forms— from the technical precision of television and the energy of live theatre to the intimate craft of the written word. As a recently published author, I find immense joy in the power of language and am committed to fostering that same creative confidence in others. As a 'people person' by nature, I thrive in environments where I can translate my industry expertise into engaging, supportive learning experiences. Whether I am guiding young actors to find their voice, mentoring writers to polish their narratives, or supervising international examinations, my focus is always on creating a safe, high-energy space where students feel empowered to explore their full creative potential.
