Why do you love working at SAE?

I love that I get to come to work and be creative, bringing ideas to life. Being able to work with like-minded and talented people always keeps things engaging. Being in radio I have the pleasure of meeting some pretty amazing musicians and audio engineers. Listening to music for most of the day is always a bonus too. I'm always in awe of musicians, engineers, and music-makers - because I have zero musical talent & rhythm.  

What is the best fun fact about yourself?

People seem to get a kick out of finding out I do the odd bit of live TV - presenting on the most cringe-worthy infomercials for Studio 10, & The Morning Show, & TVSN.

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

Because I work two jobs I rarely have much time for myself. However, when I do, I like to hang out with my blue heeler Tessa, play video-games, or see some live music.

What is your life motto?

Pretty simple - put the time & effort in to do things properly the first time. (This rarely happens, of course).

What is your dream holiday destination?

When I get over my completely irrational fear of flying I'll let you know.

Are you working on any exciting projects at the moment?

 At Energy Groove we're currently taking advantage of the new infrastructure at Sydney campus by implementing a lot more live performances into our music-focused programs. This involves patching full live band performances from the studios on Level 5 to the Energy Groove studio (on Level 2)- all live to air, no delay. We've recently seen live sets from acts like PRISM, Honey Nothings, Kcin, and Bermuda Bloom with many more to come. The sets are mixed live to radio by amazing SAE Sydney Audio students, and the performances are filmed for use across our socials by a very talented crew of SAE Sydney Film students. The videos of the previous live sets can be seen on Energy Groove Radio's Facebook and YouTube channel.
