About

I am a young and motivated individual with an immeasurable passion for music and entertainment. I recently concluded my study of a Bachelor of Entertainment Management at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney. Over the past year, I have been working at Universal Music Australia – firstly in a marketing and promotions capacity for EMI, and then later moving into a facilities management position. Most recently, I have been doing freelance PR and Marketing for various businesses, including completely rebranding and remarketing Sydney’s number 1 Male Burlesque show; ‘Voyeur’. I have also developed my skills in public relations working alongside Natalie Files at The PR Files, writing press releases, and contacting radio, online, TV, radio and press representatives. I am an extremely diligent and hard working person and always strive to ensure any task undertaken is completed to the best of my ability. I am very personable and have strong relationship building skills. I thrive in a team environment and am extremely comfortable working under pressure.
