THE FUN STUFF 

Why do you love working at SAE?

The staff and students! The staff at SAE have incredible industry backgrounds and are very passionate about teaching - the culture is a really lovely place to work. The students are dedicated, engaged and talented - my students make teaching fun and a highlight of my week. 

What is the best fun fact about yourself?

Lady and the Tramp is my favourite Disney movie - I cry every time Jock howls after Trusty gets run over by the wagon (even though I KNOW he is ok) 

How do you like to spend your time outside of SAE?

Adventuring on doco shoots and spending time with my family. And eating - I love food so much. 

What is your life motto?

Love the people around you. Work hard. Go for it - take the opportunities that come your way. If not this, then something else. Keep moving. - I don't really have a motto but these all kind of ring true for me. 

What is your dream holiday destination?

I have travelled all over the world with my work but there is one place I really adore - New Zealand. It is the most stunning unbelievably beautiful country. Also - Sarajevo and Croatia. 

Are you working on any exciting projects at the moment?

I've just returned from working on a documentary in the Torres Strait - I can't tell you what it was about (yet) but will be able to soon ;-)
