Over the past forty years, I have acquired a wealth of
experience working with a wide range of people in the education, construction,
and entertainment sectors.
I have lectured in Indigenous
Community Management and Development at the Centre for Aboriginal Studies,
Curtin University of Technology.
I have worked in entertainment and education forums as a
lecturer and teacher of performance, presentation, and communication skills.
As a domestic builder and renovator I supervised and managed
building contracts with private clients in Victoria and New South Wales.
Between building projects, I ran my own furniture design and antique
restoration business working for antique dealers and private clients - my work
includes pieces at the National Gallery, Canberra; State Gallery, Victoria; and
in many private collections.
In the entertainment industry I worked as a producer,
director, writer, and actor on feature, short and corporate films, theatre
productions, concerts and festivals. I have supervised and co-ordinated
production teams, construction crews, and performers. I appeared in numerous
film, theatre, and television productions with many of Australia’s most
celebrated directors and performers.
I am a writer and my work includes poetry, drama and documentary
scripts, journalism, project proposals, exhibition catalogues, and corporate
documents for community organizations, institutions and commercial clients.
