About me

To Whom It May Concern,
I am an accomplished and passionate Producer/Director, Commissioning Editor and Executive
Producer, who has wide-ranging experience as both an independent producer/director and network
executive, making me the ideal candidate for the position.
With a depth of knowledge and experience in Arts, Comedy, Entertainment, Documentary and Current Affairs,
I have been successfully producing high quality programs for, SBS, ABC, Ten, Seven, Foxtel’s
Studio and Nine Networks. As a result of my production skills and ability to work collegially with an
excellent team, the Nine network won a Logie award (The dismissal of the Governor General Peter
Hollingsworth, Network 9 Sunday program), another Logie nomination for best documentary or
series (Long Way To The Top; ABC TV) and a further two AFI nominations for best Entertainment
Series (Rockwiz SBS), in 2012.
I have originated and developed many successful programs, as demonstrated by my production of
the 8-part series Great Australian Albums, Channel Nine’s Sunday Program’s 20 th Anniversary
Special and The Wild One, Foreign Correspondent: San Pedro Prison, and the highly successful music quiz program Rockwiz, which remains
one of SBS’s consistently highest rating programs.
I possess extensive experience in identifying good program potential and have a demonstrated
capacity to work with the independent sector and funding bodies, structure deals, develop and
execute production plans and procedures. I also have extensive experience in writing and editing
scripts, scheduling and managing budgets and expenditure control. I enjoy working collaboratively in a team environment, where ideas are shared, and decisions are made. I have always delivered
creative and imaginative high-quality programming on time and on budget.
Combining a passion for successful program production, with the ability to oversee and develop
ideas, I always aim to pursue excellence maintaining a focus on the highest production standards.

Combining a passion for success, with the ability to be inclusive and reflective of contemporary Australia, I always aim to pursue excellence maintaining a focus on providing the most creative outcomes with the highest production standards.
