Available to hire
I’m a writer-producer with a career spanning feature films and television, developing projects from concept to screen across Australia. I collaborate with producers, networks, and fellow writers to shape compelling stories for both feature-length films and TV series, while mentoring emerging writers and teaching screenwriting. I’m passionate about nurturing voice and craft, and I enjoy guiding projects through development and funding processes to reach production.
