I'm all about about creating respectful, authentic, and collaborative teams by championing inclusion, equity, and diversity. I support my crew by enabling them to maintain a sustainable work/life balance while continuing to produce great VFX.   Originally trained in ballet and contemporary dance, I went on to join a showband and worked as an entertainer and singer in NZ, Australia, and Asia for seven years. Graduating with a Bachelor in Broadcasting and Communications in 2003, I worked in various production roles for commercials and films in New Zealand before forming Flying Saucer, a video and stills production company, with my partner in 2007.   I have been the manager of the ATD Dept at WetaFX for the last six years. My focus is recruitment, development and career progression for junior artists and helping them obtain their dream roles within the studio.
