I am a graduate of The University of Adelaide, with a double Bachelor's degree in Media and Arts, majoring in English and minoring in Classics. I am very passionate about uplifting emerging and independent artists. I mainly do this through my radio programs on BBBfm and Atomic Music, but I also support local productions with The Adelaide Show, and various other arts industries with my online articles at ArtsHub. I also work for Atomic Music promoting music for independent artists, writing blog posts and creating social media content.Currently, I volunteer my time at my local community radio station, BBBfm 89.1, and the Barossa Film Club. In 2023, I joined the latter as their social media coordinator and events promoter to help with their second Youth Short Film Competition. As a part of the film club I organised and ran various Youth Film Workshops alongside local film-maker Anthony Frith.Through my music connections, and after my stint as a Photographer for the local newspaper, I have taken a few roles as a gig photographer. Mostly at the No Quiet Festival and Barossa Valley Drum and Bass Events.I'm also navigating my way into the Screen Industry, with six no/low budget shorts under my belt as of 2024, mostly in the role of Cinematographer.
