About me & my work:

I am currently a producer working at the Sydney Opera House.

In June 2010 I hung up my glitter-covered hat after 5 years as the Festival Executive Producer of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. At Mardi Gras I had the pleasure of directing many of the Party shows while programming the Festival, ensuring a balance between commercial and grass roots events and productions.

I have worked at many places including the Sydney Botanic Gardens Trust and the Australia Council for the Arts. I have been involved in productions that showcased in the Sydney Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival.

My worst job ever was when I was 15 working at a deli. The boss lady was mean and I had to scrub mould off the cheeses. I have been an actress, waitress (am very bad at it), a sponsorship coordinator, the general manager of a big silver jewellery company and a clown at kids parties. Mostly I have been a producer, programmer and director.
