I am a diligent, passionate person who wants to care about the work I do and know that it will help others. I have a broad range of experience across customer service, data analysis, business management, technical troubleshooting, and artistic production that has left me with many useful skills. In my personal life I enjoy many artistic pursuits including filmmaking, songwriting, and performing as a folk musician. My work as a filmmaker has featured at a few festivals, some of my songs have been on the radio, and I recently won the JA PAN award from Acoustic Routes (the Wellington Folk Club) for my musical performances.
