Sydney,NSW

Summary

I am very fortunate and grateful for my current positions at Limitless Strategies and Gang Gang Cafe. At limitless I teach music classes for mature-aged individuals with disabilities, a role that deeply resonates with me. I also work at Gang Gang Café on the side as their resident events manager. It’s a very fun, collaborative job that not only keeps me very busy but also greatly impacts and image of the venue, and the local music and arts scene in Canberra and surrounds.

Outside of regular working ours, my professional focus has always been on music as I believe it is something God has blessed me with the ability to do. As a musician and artist, I perform regularly and release my own music, with career highlights such as playing at BIGSOUND music festival in 2023 and being fortunate to work with organizations such as DAALEE who oversee management for all my music work and Niche Productions who operate as my booking agent.

Having grown up in Canberra and the surrounding regions, I have always been an outdoor person and have a high standard of fitness and routine. Other than about seven or eight days, in the last two years, I have read the bible every day. I believe my relationship with God to be the most important and key factor to my life. I am currently based in Canberra and plan to move to Sydney in early 2024.
