In 2017 I was offered a full-time traineeship at Channel 7 Sport as a cameraman and video editor, which allowed me to get straight into the industry from the young age of 19. This gave me an enormous head start and experience. Since then I have developed and worked with some of the best live television producers, directors, editors and sports cinematographers in the country. This experience has matured and advanced my skill sets to become one of the more proficient editors and cameramen for the Ch7 Sport department.

I have worked on many of Australia's, and the world’s, major sporting events including: Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, AFL (Australian Football League), Australian Open Tennis, Wimbledon Tennis, Cricket, Horse Racing, SuperCars, Rugby League World Cup, Swimming Championships, Commonwealth Games, Motocross and many more.

A lot of my day to day work has involved up close liaison and directing with high profile athletes. I'm extremely comfortable with the biggest names in sport, working with them to tell great stories.

In my spare time, I’ve continued to seek additional opportunities to develop my skills.

These include:

• NBL (National Basketball League, Australia) - Features for broadcast, social media and websites
• Feros Care - Video series for their BeSomeoneForSomeone loneliness campaign
• VRC (Victoria Racing Club) - Features and promos for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
• Music videos for local Australian artists
• Weddings
• Videos for social media influencers

& many more!

In 2016, I took the opportunity to live and work in London for a year. This really took me out of my comfort zone at 18 years of age, but I loved every minute of it. Working in hospitality, I learnt a lot of people and communication skills, whilst also adapting and learning to live a different lifestyle away from home.
