Summary

I come from a hard working, family owned and world renowned business. After completing year 12, (in 1993) I was offered a place at UWA to study violin performance. I deferred this degree, to work in the family hairdressing business, The House of Ernest. Whilst working full time, I kept my mind active by completing a Trichology degree, and then went on to pursue studies in Psychology at Curtin University. I was placed in the top 3% of academic students, and was awarded a position in the Golden Key Society. I also continued to play the violin, and was involved in 5 musical recordings for TV and CD's as well as performing with a string quartet.

In1997 I worked in Brisbane for a year to further my hairdressing skills, and then moved to London, where I worked for John Frieda. I then moved to New York and worked on Film sets, doing hair, one being Meet Joe Black, directed by Martin Brest. Upon returning to Perth, I continued to work in the family business, and looked after clients Olivia Newton John and Gemma Ward, and curated many photo shoots until I started my family.

I moved to Paris with my family in 2015, to have the French experience. Whilst living in Paris I was involved in the wardrobe department for a children's theatre production called Porridge.

In 2017, I began my journey into writing children's books, and have published a book, called Rosie and the Oak Tree Fairies.

In 2020, I returned to my love of film, and worked on film sets, having done short films, web series, and a feature film. I was a production assistant for the award winning feature film Pieces, directed by Martin Wilson.

I am a vivacious, dedicated and hard working individual, with an eye for detail. I am a detail-orientated team player, with strong organizational skills. I am a dependable person who is successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I will willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals and display excellent communication skills. I enjoy the creativity working on film sets, and being part of a team, to bring a vision to life through collaborative team work. I am a dynamic Location Manager with knowledge of scouting and contracting for perfect locations, committed to quality locations and working closely with directors and producers.
