A deeply character-driven, intuitive collaborator

  • My journey with music began at the age of six and has since evolved into a deep passion for singing, songwriting, and composition. I have developed my skills across a diverse range of musical genres, including jazz, classical, and contemporary music theory within formal and informal training. I completed a Certificate IV in Jazz Music, an Advanced Diploma, and a Bachelor of Music with Honours (Contemporary Performance) at WAAPA graduating in 2020, followed by a Master of Arts: Screen (Music) at AFTRS in 2023. My professional experience spans songwriting, composition, vocal coaching, music directing, and production, with work across both live and recorded music environments. Prior to my pivot to screen music, I developed my project management skills and stakeholder communication during four years in corporate HR as an administration professional and three years as principal of Dalkeith Road School of Music.

  • I arranged and produced LJT Kelly’s debut EP, co-arranged and featured on Wooly Mammoth’s Edge (which has over 1 million plays on Spotify), and was contracted to provide vocal arrangements for Eclipse Musicians’ Christmas Show Band. My album-length honours graduating recital was awarded the 2020 Mustang Bar Award for the most outstanding performance. I debuted a symphonic work with the Central Coast Symphony in April 2023, and my opening theme received the audience selection at AFTRS’s Feeling It: Music and Sound on Screen event at Vivid Sydney in June 2023. I served as the vocal coach for the AACTA-nominated queer TikTok musical Girl Crush (2024) and have mentored music, singing, production, and songwriting for nearly a decade. Short films Rehabilitating (2024), The Method (2025) and Domme (2025) featuring my score and bespoke songwriting have premiered at Sydney, St Kilda, and Flickerfest Film Festivals. My first short film, This Is Life, premiered at WA Made Film Festival in 2023.

  • My time at AFTRS allowed me to transform my cinematic art-pop songwriting style into a versatile, multi-modal, screen-literate approach, learning to write for orchestra, small instrumental ensembles, and to express emotion through music without words. Since graduating, I obtained a Certificate III in Small Business and Entrepreneurship and received business mentoring to develop systems for supporting adults learning music. Venturing further into my proficiency as a vocal coach, I completed both the VocaLab Advanced Vocal Training and Vocal Educator's Toolkit in 2024 with speech pathologist and vocal specialist Elle Holiday, as well as the Jungle Alliance Coaching Certificate.

  • My undergraduate study culminated in an award-winning graduation recital and a thesis on the songwriting commonalities of producer Max Martin. My AFTRS masters research focused on intuitive processes, emotional perspectives, and collaboration, culminating in projects The Method (2025) and Rehabilitating (2024), which involved negotiating with over 50 instrumentalists, 9 recording sessions, and arrangements spanning various genres. I conducted live sessions with an 18-piece chamber orchestra, honed orchestration skills, and became proficient in preparing MIDI and sheet music to deliver evocative, emotionally sensitive scores.

  • My ideas have always been big, and I believe the best ideas require a team to bring them to life. As someone with a highly inquisitive mind, I constantly reflect on and improve my practice, drawing rapid connections between concepts, fuelling my ability to ideate boldly.

    My creative process is guided by intuition and emotional depth. I’m drawn to projects that allow for meaningful collaboration. I approach each project authentically, creating emotionally resonant work whether composing, songwriting, or teaching. I am adaptable, resourceful, and skilled at balancing artistic vision with meticulous organisation, enabling me to manage and deliver complex projects. I thrive in cross-disciplinary work, creating cohesive, impactful results.
