I help people share stories that matter. Connecting people to ideas creates change. One story at a time.

I’m a screenwriter and creative producer working across television, audio fiction, streaming and feature film projects. I write intimate stories that explore the human side of change, identity and place – the missing.

My slate of projects includes a mystery feature about Mark Twain’s time in Australia, a young-adult series about digital grief, a story of intergenerational lies and extinct creatures, and a VR project about living with aphantasia.

Actual Size, an AFTRS short documentary I co-wrote was a finalist in 2017 Made In The West Film Festival . I was a finalist in the NYC Midnight Short Screenplay Contest 2020 and the Screenwriter’s Network Short Script contest 2023. I’ve been a screenwriting jurist for the Adelaide Independent Film Festival in 2024 and 2025.

I have been a South Australian state committee member for the Australian Writers Guild, the event producer for Adelaide’s Tuesday Talks, a screen industry night for local screen makers, funded by SAFC through the Australian Writers Guild. In 2012, I was the executive producer of the inaugural TEDxParramatta.

I’m an Associate Member of the Australian Writers Guild and a member of MEAA.

I’m an experienced script consultant, editor and note-taker. Bring your next draft to life with a script consult session – get in touch.

My other gig is as a communication, leadership and change advisor at Meaning Business.

I acknowledge that I am working on the Traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the East Kulin Nations and pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

I extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge their living connection to the Country, their relationship with the land and all living things extending back tens of thousands of years.
