Work history: 

CAREER IN BRIEF

I have been working in the television production industry for the past thirteen years. I began as a researcher and worked as a production manager and producer for many prominent production companies within New Zealand. I've worked for Television New Zealand as well as producing independently through NZ On Air. My most enjoyable work was a three-year stint as a presenter on TV One's Good Morning programme as the weekly Arts Informer. For two years I ran the the New Zealand Television Awards and the New Zealand Film Awards. Most recently I wrote and produced segments for children's television programme The Go Show.

I'm turning my focus to working in the Arts Management arena as I love this type of work and find it stimulating and rewarding.
