I’m an independent contractor with many years experience. I’m based in Auckland, but also have strong family connections to the South Island.
With a keen eye for detail and a diplomatic approach, I help facilitate the transformation of a director’s vision with quality locations and seamless management. My career in the film industry began in 2009 with Imagination TV, working on America's Next Top Model.
Moving from reality TV and local NZ drama to commercials, I’ve worked with some of the world’s most talented directors and outstanding production companies including Smuggler, Exit, Big Pictures, Ruskin, Sweetshop, Scoundrel, Finch, Good Oil, Revolver, Flying Fish and 3 & 7.
I scouted for the American TV series The Wilds. I also managed their second unit.
Recently I scouted key locations in Auckland for the Amazon MGM film, Wrecking Crew, featuring Jason Momoa.

I have a Diploma in Adventure Tourism and Marine Ecology. I'm interested in music, film, art, mountain biking and sailing.
