I’m an audio producer based in Sydney, Australia. I like to collaborate with journalists and creatives to find the most compelling way to tell important stories.

I’ve been doing this one way or another for over fifteen years now, through my work with Audiocraft, ABC RN, commercial radio and independent podcast projects.

I programmed and managed the Audiocraft Podcast Festival for three years, and my Audiocraft colleagues and I were voted 2020 Podcast Champions at the Australian Podcast Awards.

In my role at ABC News I’m supervising new audio on-demand products and produced a season of If You’re Listening about Australia’s confusing history of climate change policies.

I am currently studying a Master of Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Development at the University of Newcastle. We’re bad, as an industry, at communicating the impact of climate change in a thorough and ongoing way. I want to get really good at it.

You can read about my approach to working with sound at the Australian Audio Guide.
