About me
He Pākehā ahau.
I am Pākehā, a white New Zealander, my family is English and Scottish in heritage. The River Thames is my river. I live in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.
My background is in the creative sector in Aotearoa. I started working backstage in performing arts in Wellington in my first year studying at university in 1990 at age 19. I have a career as a designer, organiser and educator, working across theatre, dance and events.
I am an award winning lighting designer and in my formative years I worked with Red Mole, Taku Rua and women's theatre such as 'Not Broadcast Quality' in Wellington. I am part of the Magdalena Aotearoa Trust and the international network The Magdalena project.
Between 2008 and 2017 I taught on the technical and management courses at Toi Whakaari: The New Zealand Drama School.
I graduated in 2018 with a Master of Public Management from Victoria University of Wellington.
