I'm a writer, director and producer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I began freelancing in the videography, photography and social media space in 2017 which culminated in various creative and communications roles between 2018 and 2022. Since 2022 I have had the privilege of working on some of the biggest film and television productions in New Zealand and learning from the best our country has to offer.

I completed a Master of Creative Practice in 2020, which included writing, directing and producing my short film Primary, which played at film festivals around the world. My undergraduate studies included a Bachelor of Commerce (majoring in Management and Innovation & Entrepreneurship) and a Bachelor of Music (majoring in Musicology). I am currently studying Te Reo Māori at Te Wānanga O Aotearoa part-time via distance learning.
