Advertising is the second best job in the world.
The first has got to be my old part-time job at a video store.
There's nothing more an aspiring creative could want than endless inspiration from shelves of DVDs and free snacks behind the counter. Alas, Blockbuster closed its doors, and I was left with no choice but to find the next best thing.
So here I am. An Associate Creative Director at McCann New York.
I got my bachelor’s degree at RMIT Melbourne and worked on some of Australia’s biggest clients at Ogilvy, Hardhat and M&C Saatchi. Along the way, I’ve been lucky enough to have my work recognised and awarded over 100 times, including a Gold at Cannes Lions ‘25.
Outside the office, I tutored Award School (Australasia’s equivalent of Miami Ad School) and became a certified Auntie, part of MADC’s mentorship program designed to support the next generation of female talent.
All in all, advertising comes a very close second.
