Audio Expert

I’ve worked in front of the mic hosting and producing radio shows for some of the biggest networks in Australia and I’ve been at the helm of over ten podcasts including Google Australia’s first podcast, Rethink. I’ve worked behind the scenes as Head of Podcasts for two major audio networks - Mamamia and now Nova Entertainment - where I've led a team of producers and overseen the development and production of almost 60 original podcasts. So, if you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re talking about when it comes to best-practice podcasting, both behind and in front of the mic, you’ve come to the right place.

Online Course Creator

After years spent hosting and producing radio shows and podcasts professionally and teaching radio and podcasting at the Australian Film, Television & Radio School (AFTRS) I decided to package up all my knowledge into an online course to help at-home podcasters create a successful and sustainable show. PodSchool is a comprehensive step-by-step podcasting course that you can go through at your own pace. It explains everything you need to know to create a show, build and grow an audience and set your podcast up for success. The course isn't just about the 'how to's,' it focuses on the best-practise way to do every aspect of podcasting including how to apply tips and tricks used by professionals to connect with your audience, record killer audio and edit so no one would ever know the show was coming out of your lounge room. It's my firm belief that, if you know what you're doing, you can create a podcast at home that competes with professional media organisations and it's that knowledge and experience you get access to in PodSchool.

Media Professional

I spent the first decade of my career moving across the country hosting breakfast shows for some of the biggest radio networks in Australia including Hit 929, Hit 107, Triple M Melbourne and Sea FM Central Coast. Eventually, I found my way back home to Sydney where I spent five years behind the mic at Triple M, finishing up as co-host of their national drive show, Merrick and The Highway Patrol, with Merrick Watts and Jules Schiller. Over that time I also worked as a television presenter featuring on shows like Q&A, Have You Been Paying Attention, Hughesy We Have A Problem, The Today Show & Weekend Sunrise and was a writer and actor on the ABC's satirical news program, The Roast. I’m currently a regular panellist and occasional host on Channel 10’s nightly news show, The Project and I've also worked as a writer and my words have been read in The Daily Telegraph, News.com.au, Mamamia, The Collective and Body + Soul.
