Being curious and creative, I'm interested in the different perspectives people have about the world and the contrasting and creative ways we choose to share our views.

This curiosity has led to adventures in places like Ashgabat in Turkmenistan and Ougoudougou in Burkina Faso, and working on projects for organisations such as the Australian

Natural History Unit and National Geographic.

From recording a perfect bird call to composing a catchy radio jingle, sound has been my passion and as the internet created new opportunities, film, photography and interactive

media merged into my storytelling toolkit.

"Photography is a terrific medium to capture experiences - as individuals and as a community - and I enjoy collaborating on visual projects. Discovering the story behind a

photographer's piece of work, whether the photo was created for fun, spontaneously, or through a well thought-out process, is rewarding."

I'm excited to be the ABC Open Producer for North Queensland and will be collaborating with the community to help develop and share stories from the region. If you want to

improve your photography skills and would like to contribute to ABC Open get involved. Have a look at the ABC Open website and send me an email.
