About me

For two decades I've worked in the Australian arts and culture sector as a performer,

director, CEO and board member. In 2024, I moved to Cape Town, where I'm now

raising a young family and freelancing with artists and arts organisations across

Australia, South Africa and internationally.

​

I support organisations and individuals through grant and tender writing, strategic

planning, team facilitation and leadership coaching. My creative work spans youth

arts workshops and programs, script and production dramaturgy, and performing and directing across theatre and film.

I'm also an accredited yoga and meditation teacher.

​

Whether in a board room, a rehearsal space or on the mat, I believe grounding ourselves in body and mind is essential to building systems that are more equitable, inclusive and responsive. While the arts remain my specialism, I'm increasingly bringing these skills beyond the sector to people and organisations committed to meaningful change.
