I began my creative journey as a musician in a variety of rock bands and music groups. This introduced me to the collaborative creative process - writing; arranging; recording; performing, promotion, touring.

I worked on HBO’s WW2 mini-series The Pacific as a Special Abilities Background Actor in Australia from 2007-2008. Inspired by this formative experience, I returned home to Ireland and studied for a degree in Multimedia B.Sc. (Hons) at Dublin City University. I graduated in 2011 with first class honors.

I am constantly seeking to develop my visual storytelling craft through a variety of professional experiences across film, broadcast, and commercial productions. Over the past ten years I have worked professionally in the following roles: Assistant Producer; Assistant Director; Camera Department; Sound Department; Editing & Post-Production; Stills Photographer.

In 2012, I studied Screen Acting and Film Directing with JJ Harrington at Filmbase. This gave me a practical understanding of the craft of acting which is essential for working with talent and eliciting believable on-camera performances.
