I am currently working as an Associate Producer on the feature film 'Thunder'. Within this role, I am managing areas such as casting, locations, talent management and scheduling alongside the Writer/Director. We are also in the process of acquiring funding, so much of my role currently is engaging with funding opportunities and media.

Since tumultuous Covid times I've had the privilege of working as a freelance Notetaker in Writer's Rooms, both in person and via Zoom. In this role I scribe notes from the discussions of the day, edit them and send back a condensed and concise version to the writers. I have also assisted in the editing of pitch documents. Some projects I've worked on include:

• Billie B Brown (Australian Children's Television Foundation)
• Namaste Yoga (Warrior Tribe Films and ABC TV)
• Sweet & Sour
• The Legend of Bakar (Fremantle Media)

In collaboration with Nice Film Co I worked as a Producer on a TVC for Assist Ability. This role included collecting contracts, set building, and talent managing on set.

In cooperation with Another Life Pictures, I worked as a 1st AD on the Tik-Tok series The Last Party of Summer. This was a week-long shoot where I worked in scheduling and general talent wrangling.

I am currently working on a fashion film project as a Producer and 1st AD, in collaboration with fashion designer Cole Surrey and director Jon Escobar. This role involves scheduling, talent management, and location sourcing.

As well as working as a lead actor, I worked as an Assistant Producer alongside Luke Styles on the short film Beyond the Boundary.
