I manage a team of creative experts, spanning many disciplines - Digital Producing, Arts in Health, Products, Theatre and Events. We collaborate with thought leaders, artists and companies to bring next level events and experiences to Starlight's unique programs, creating fun, inspiration and happiness for children and young people living with illness.

I produced multiple experiences in hospital working with creative groups and celebrities to collaborate and bring immersive, moments of wow to children when they need it most. I also worked with a team to create resources and training for our Starlight Staff, including events like CapFest - a learning and development conference for 150 staff.

Royal Children'S Hospital. Melbourne, Australia

Captain Starlight is a superhero who travels in a Red Rocket ship to Earth everyday to make children smile. Masters of Distraction, Captain Starlight brings happiness to hospitalized children, using performances that span music, improvisation, clowning among other creative arts practices. It was my incredible privilege to be a superhero for 12 years... now you know my secret identity!

Melbourne, Australia

Combining my training as an actor, improvisor, and my work as a facilitator and leader, I work with people from all industries to better understand how to have difficult conversations in a safe environment. I really enjoy facilitating these workshops and providing constructive feedback to watch individuals flourish working with others.

My role as a presenter a Melbourne Zoo saw me deliver daily presentations to inform the public about the awesome animals at the zoo, and inspire people with simple measures to look after the environment so we can better care for them in the wild. It also meant that I got to deliver exceptional behind the scenes experiences, including camps - yep, I got to sleep at the zoo!

London, England, United Kingdom

I was one of 12 Australian Captain Starlight's selected to trial the program in the UK. Over the course of 3 months we travelled from Wales to England to Scotland, 3 times over, and visited 51 hospitals and hospices every month, delivering distraction, smiles and so many 'dad-jokes' to sick children.
