Who I am.

Australian born, raised and now a proud U.S.A permanent resident. I bring 10 years of music and event tour marketing, artist publicity and music promotions experience to Nashville. In 2021, I completed a course in Marketing Management at UC Berkeley, refreshing and furthering my skill set and adapting new knowledge to my professional portfolio.

A passionate music buff, drummer, songwriter and avid dog lover, I strive to achieve creative and professional excellence within the entertainment industry.

I currently work at Icon Public Relations (Nashville office), working with global talent including Grammy winner Macy Gray. Previously. I worked on client campaigns in Australia including some the world’s most loved artists including 9 time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow (Australian tour publicity), the cast of Twin Peaks (live tour management), Academy award winning director David Lynch (Aust/NZ cast tour/live tour management), Grammy winner Mellissa Etheridge (Aust tour publicity), Legendary Count Basie Orchestra (Aust tour publicity), Canadian Hall of Famers Cowboy Junkies (Aust/NZ tour marketing manager), The Monkees (Aust/NZ tour marketing manager), BMI songwriter award winner Jeff Trott, Rick Springfield (Aust tour marketing manager) and Genesis guitar pioneer Steve Hackett (Aust/NZ tour marketing manager) to name just a few.

I love all music styles - from Americana/roots to country to rock to pop right through to dance music, orchestral scores and beyond. I thoroughly enjoy creating publicity, marketing and promotional campaigns that are tailored to exceed client expectations. I am captivated by genuine artistry and relish promoting talent and products to the world.

I look forward to connecting with you!
