What I Do
Working in Sydney Australia, I make videos for not-for-profits, charities, government and educators to engage audiences in important stories and issues. My videos can be also designed for websites or training tools. I have over thirty years experience as a freelance video director and editor, working in many different communication styles and filming situations. I also work as a documentary editor. My clients value my ability to take complex topics and make them engaging and easy to understand. I also have a degree in Environmental Science.
