FROM LITTLE THINGS, BIG THINGS GROW

Hi! I'm an Australian-based writer, actor, filmmaker, and teacher with an infinite love for the creative industries. A West Coast girl with enough of an Italian and British upbringing to still be confused by an Australian Christmas menu.

​

Originally from regional Western Australia, I have built a multidisciplinary career across writing, producing, performance, screen production and arts education. At the heart of all of it is a love of storytelling and collaboration, and a desire to champion female voices both on screen and behind the scenes.​ I aim to create character-driven stories that connect with local and international audiences through relatability, emotional truth and meaningful representation. My work often explores fractured relationships, love, loss and the vulnerability required to navigate personal transformation. I'm particularly interested in the ways people seek connection, understanding and belonging in the face of adversity, and in using genre to explore these experiences in unexpected ways.

​

I hold a Master of Arts in Screenwriting from the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) and trained as an actor through a in Contemporary Performance at WAAPA/ECU. My studies also include a Graduate Diploma in Education specialising in Drama and Visual Arts, alongside postgraduate qualifications in Arts Management and Art History and Curatorial Studies. My experience across writing, acting, producing and education continues to shape the way I approach storytelling: collaboratively, visually and with an understanding of how a story evolves from the page to the screen.

​

My screen work spans independent features and shorts across writing, producing, acting, production design and story development. As an actor, my credits include James Demitri's feature Misplaced and Taron Lexton's forthcoming US feature Nomad. I co-starred in and executive produced Patrick Townsend's short film The Purchase, and worked as producer and production designer on Damien Giglietta's feature Mercy of Others. I also wrote, directed, produced and performed in the smartphone short Packet Mix, which premiered at the SF3 SmartFone Flick Fest.

​

My recent writing includes science-fiction short Ally, a proof of concept for my feature Vestige; musical short Interlude; and the drama feature Southbound Sisters. I have also worked as a story consultant and script editor on Robin Kalus' award-winning short Fracture and Lianne Mackessy's award-winning short Tuesday Tuesday, alongside participating in writers' and story rooms as both a notetaker and contributor. These experiences have strengthened my interest in collaborative development and shaping stories from their earliest stages through to production.

​

Alongside my creative practice, I work as a guest lecturer in Screenwriting at AFTRS and as a co-curricular Speech and Drama teacher at MLC School, where I created and facilitate the Acting for Camera program and coach Theatresports. Mentoring emerging artists is an important part of my practice, as is advocating for greater accessibility to arts education and creative opportunities, particularly within regional communities.

​

I am also part of the Raising Films Australia team, advocating for a more inclusive, sustainable and collaborative screen industry.

Whether I'm writing, acting, producing, teaching or collaborating with other creatives, I'm always looking for the next opportunity to tell meaningful stories, champion emerging voices and keep learning within an industry I love.
