    My creative credits include award winning stage and screen work.
    Theatre wise, I co-wrote an original cabaret called Caught Between the Sheets & Stage Lights, which was nominated for a Broadway World Sydney Award for Best Cabaret Performance in 2017. In 2019 I directed a staged reading of Jump for Jordan by Donna Abela at New Theatre & assistant directed Follow Me Home for Australian Theatre for Young People, directed by Artistic Director Fraser Corfield.
    In 2020 I produced the Australian premiere of The Spoils by Jesse Eisenberg and wrote and directed a one act play called inner weather (Chippen St. Theatre) which played a sell out two week season to positive critical response. In 2022 I produced and acted in the Australian premiere of Radiant Vermin by Philip Ridley.
    Film wise, I directed the short films I Love You Fish (Uni Shorts Film Festival - Best Short Film nomination 2013), All The Things You Could Have Been (Melbourne Underground Film Festival Official Selection 2018), Super Fans, for Young Actors Assembly in Sydney, as well as Omission and Samsara (Lift Off Sessions Official Selection 2020), both of which I wrote, directed and produced.
    Most recently I co-wrote, co-produced and acted in a short film called No Film Sets in Bankstown (2022) which played at Sydney Underground Film Festival in 2023 and was funded by Western Sydney Uni.
