Summary
Game Mathematician / Producer and Musician with more than 15 years experience in Game Development, Production and Management through an Australian land based gaming manufacturer and in a freelance environment.
Having started as a Mathematician in Game Design, my interest in other areas of the development process such as game graphics, sound and project management, led me to a Game Producer role, managing all aspects of game design simultaneously for many years, before commencing a Game Product Manager role with a land based gaming manufacturer, responsible for the creation, release, evaluation and support of premium products for the local and international markets.
In 2008, I was awarded a scholarship at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and completed a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance, graduating with a Class 1 honours degree.
My analytical and leadership skills developed through many years of experience at the highest level allows me to bring great value to any role in any environment.
