As an Arts professional, I manage the Very Short Film Festival, a platform dedicated to bringing Australian stories to life through short films. My passion for storytelling extends to screenwriting, primarily writing comedy. I am currently presenting a slate of screenplays:

• Feature comedy: ‘Do It For Nana’ - A promiscuous commitment-phobe is forced to tackle the complicated single's scene when the ghost of her grandfather insists she settle down with a good man. It's his final wish – he wants her to do it for her nana, before it’s too late.

• Coming-of-age: ‘Jasmine’ - Jasmine, a troubled eighteen-year-old, arrives in Thailand in search of her missing father. She’s taken in by a spirited Thai prostitute and together they enter a seedy, dangerous world.

• Comedy TV: ‘Journey to Oz’ - When a hapless romantic finds the ‘one’ (yet again), he drags his disillusioned adult children from Los Angeles to Australia for a shotgun wedding, where they meet the bride’s equally dysfunctional family and themselves in the process.

• Comedy web series’: Drunk Moon - Two 30-something chicks navigating their way through life in Sydney - when they’re supposed to be ‘on track’.
