I'm a highly creative and multi-talented TV, film, and digital content executive with extensive experience leading, creative strategies, editorial administration, providing operational leadership and negating complex organisational challenges. I possess a successful track record of promoting growth across local and international organisations. I'm an excellent communicator and collaborator with a talent for building and strengthening relationships across functions to drive cohesive and strategic operations.
