I am a highly experienced communications specialist with a passion for business development and have spent my career building relationships at all levels. The majority of my career has been spent in the TV and Film production industry and I have established myself as a proven ‘front man’, highly professional as well as warm and open. I have built a reputation as someone who can be relied on to deliver in highly pressurised environments and established myself as an integral part of a number of high performing teams.I have spent the past seventeen years working on high profile television and film productions. I am the second longest serving cast member on New Zealand’s most loved and iconic television drama, Shortland Street and have hopefully cemented my position as one of the country’s best known pretend doctors! I have also worked alongside phenomenal talent such as Sir Peter Jackson and Orlando Bloom on ‘The Hobbit’ and James Cameron on ‘Avatar’.Away from acting I have worked alongside some of NZs leading brands and organisations in arelationship management and brand ambassador role. Clients have included Air New Zealand, Fiji Airways, Holden, Ministry of Health, TVNZ, Mitsubishi, Manukau Institute of Technology and the Ministry of Social Development. I am a Te Reo Māori speaker and passionate advocate for Māori youth and community affairs.
