ABOUT ME

Scream & Bridesmaids
FAVOURITE TELEVISION SHOW :
Kath & Kim, Schitt’s Creek, Shameless US
FAVOURITE GENRE :
Horror & Comedy – I can’t pick one!
PROFESSIONAL HIGHLIGHTS :
I have two that come to mind, the first is attending a workshop with GROUNDLINGS in Los Angeles. Being in the place that birthed some of the funniest people in the world, from Kristen Wiig to Will Farrell, it felt magical. I would live in the walls if I could.
The second was attending a screening for a feature film I Co – Produced and was the Cinematographer on. It was such an out of body experience, which I would love to have again. Making the film was so challenging, rewarding and sometimes felt illegal with the amount of fun we had, but there’s nothing quite like when you put your art out there for people to love or hate, it’s infectious and incredibly addictive.
PERSONAL INTERESTS :
I love E-Commerce, Creating products to sell online is so wonderfully validating. To create something you can put online and see people’s kind reviews. I also love to create short-form content online and play within the social media landscape, I’m now learning I might be a workaholic.
