Once upon a time, I dreamt of becoming a highly successful, freelance photographer. But after shooting a bunch of pets, parties and marketing content for a hair transplant company, I decided to shift lanes.

In 2018, I applied for AWARD School, graduated as a Top 10 student and earned a 1-year apprenticeship at TBWA\Melbourne. After that, they decided to take my creative aspirations seriously – by offering me my very first Copywriting gig. Her path was officially (and finally) set!

A couple years later, I made a hop, skip n’ a jump to Dentsu Creative, where I wrote some more words, ticked off Copy School, joined the Aunties, tutored – and judged – at AWARD School, snatched a few ‘prestigious’ awards and learned from the greats at AWARD Uni.

I swear I’m not as bland as this bio. But I’d rather prove it to you over a coffee.
