My story
From the edit suite to the classroom.
I have been in the media industry since 1991. That is 35 years as a broadcast video editor and camera operator, working across all of Australia's major television networks. I learned the craft the demanding way, on real deadlines, where the story has to land and the turnaround is fast.
Along the way I trained editors well beyond Australia, including with MTV Europe and Disney. Teaching quickly became the part I loved most: watching someone go from nervous to capable, and seeing the moment it clicks.
Back in 2013, working with ABC Open, I trained my very first ranger group, the Laura Rangers in Cape York. Helping First Nations teams tell their own stories has stayed close to my heart ever since.
These days I bring that same broadcast craft to time-poor professionals and teams who never trained in video. I keep it plain and practical. People tell me I am approachable and energetic, and that the detail still matters to me, because it does. I am a TAE-qualified trainer, so the way I teach is built to actually stick.
