ABOUT ME:

Born in Sydney Australia, I have worked my way around America, Canada, England, China, and Australia. I have also travelled to France, Austria, Netherlands, Malaysia, Thailand, Hawaii and Alaska.

After working for over 70 companies, I realised that my purpose in life was to help people, animals and the environment, whilst travelling the world and being creative.

My involvement with children of all ages has includes being an English teacher in China, and an instructor for tumbling, trampolining, gymnastics, swimming, and rock-climbing. I have also worked as a camp counselor in America, as tour guide in Central Australia and The Northern Territory, and as a lifeguard and snorkel guide throughout the Great Barrier Reef.

I have completed of over 20 short courses, ranging from creative writing, photography, communication and media, to television presenting, outdoor recreation, and international law and human rights. I am in the process of trying to become a successful non-profit documentary maker, writer, and photographer. 

I have completed a producers and directors film maker’s course, filmed and edited content for an online Sydney travel company, shot a short film, worked for a Latin dance television production and was a Post-Production Manager for a film company. I also worked as a Production Manager for a short feature film ‘Flight to Bollywood’.

I believe that by sharing my creativity and inspiring life experiences with others, especially youth, I can positively influence many people.
