I am a highly versatile producer/director with a background in investigative journalism across television, radio, and digital platforms.
I have spent 15 years directing and producing documentaries and long format stories in Australia, conflict zones and developing countries working with major broadcasters including Aljazeera Network, SBS Television, ABC Television, Channel 4, CNN and as an independent filmmaker.
My feature documentary directing debut, My Home, Your War, followed a woman and her family through the war in Iraq over three years and was the recipient of many international awards. I was the also the producer for Hitting Home the AACTA and Walkley award winning series on domestic violence for ABC TV.After this I went on to work as a full-time producer/director for Dateline SBS TV making half hour documentaries on international issues and more recently I have worked as a Director for Warner Bros and ABC. TV.
I have recently started my own production company Big Sista Films with a focus on compelling documentaries for women by women.
I'm interested in merging filmmaking genres to make feature films/documentary series about the big social issues of our time that have a lasting social impact.
I hold a Master of Social Science Majoring in Global Communications and International Development and a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communications.
