I enjoy working with a team of artistic types and being able to bring new ideas to fruition. We’re into scheming-up inspiring creative experiences for not only students at Wintec, but the entire Kirikiriroa community. My role is to champion these events and ideas and share the student experience through creative communication.

It’s fitting that I have an enthusiasm for all things creative being situated in an arts school. I adore theatre and music performances (as a member of the audience) just as much as viewing art exhibitions, and I have a deep respect for good design, so being surrounded by this day-to-day is a win-win for me.

With a background in visual arts and teaching, followed by a segue into visual storytelling and video production, I find working at The School of Media Arts the perfect match to my skill set. I enjoy working with student interns, their fresh approach is energising, and it’s wonderful seeing them work towards hard-earned achievements.
