I am a Creative Producer living on the Sunshine Coast. I am passionate about collaboration and connecting artists and communities with radical arts experiences which offer potential for future thinking. I currently work as a Senior Producer for Horizon Festival and for PANNZ  Arts Market as the International Delegate Liaison. I also work on various independent producing projects that align with my values.

I am Pākehā and a descendant from Little Forgie in North East Scotland and the Cotswolds England.

Rohe

I grew up in Oākura in a bach that perched right on Taranaki's west coast. I spent many hours of my childhood watching the sea. When I was 13 my whānau relocated to Australia and I experienced deep yearning for Aotearoa. I have spent time in both countries throughout my life.

People believing in my potenial through job opportunities and industry mentorships. Saying yes to things that are out of my comfort zone,remaining curious and making the most of this one precious life.

Whānau

Whānau is everything to me. I dearly love my husband and two boys who are 20 and 16, and I am incredibly close to my extended family... I love being an Aunty. I also feel blessed to have close friends and work whānau.

What grounds me?

Daily yoga and meditation practice, swimming in the ocean and watching clouds.
