Job done!  Audience Wowed! Lessons Learned and Enthusiasm Renewed – Next!!

Entertainment is in my DNA – creating,performing or producing is where I am most comfortable. 

Moving from writing, producing and performing in local theater performances in the 80’s and TV commercials in NZ in the 90’s I moved to London in 1994 and commenced working part-time with the BBC, Pinewood and other screen production companies as a regular bit-part actor on a multitude of TV series, short films, commercials, documentaries and feature films.  During that time I maintained my stagecraft through continual training and dance lessons and was lucky to gain a number of screen credits as well as an IMDb credit in 2004 for my portrayal as Princess Diana in BBC’s ‘Diana – The Legacy’ (Jyoti Verge).

My ‘day job’ at the time was as a Management Development Trainer facilitating Dale Carnegie group training sessions throughout the UK and Europe from 1995-2004.  After returning to NZ and recently achieving my NZQA Diploma in Screen Production, Content & Creation, it turns out that I have a Director’s heart but that my management development skill-set in executive coaching, event and project management translate quite nicely into key aspects of Film Production, Coordination and AD responsibilities.  I thrive in situations that require solution thinking and need a ‘get things done’ attitude. 

I am committed to growing strong, long lasting relationships with my fellow filmmakers, actors and production crew alike as I believe that this is vital to creating powerful film productions. I bring endless enthusiasm, a strong work ethic, and an unrelenting desire to bring light and fun to each situation.
