I am Theatre Producer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. I moved from my hometown of Otepoti, Dunedin to pursue higher education and professional experience in the Theatre industry. I quickly gained an interest and passion for shows that push the expectations of theatre and bring in new audiences from far and wide. I want to provide a platform for fellow emerging practitioners to make their start in the Arts.

My debut show DUST performed to a sold out audience at BATS theatre in 2022 and discussed the issues of toxic masculinity and drug abuse in a Kiwi context.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Film studies from Te Herenga Waka which I completed in 2021. Currently I am enrolled in the MFA program at Te Herenga Waka for Theatre with a focus on Production Management. I had the pleasure of being involved with the TAHI Festival of solo performance earlier this year as a Production Management intern where I worked on the show Flutter. Currently I am involved with the 6 Degrees Festival, Production managing multiple projects.
