Summary

I’m a dedicated Lighting Technician with a strong work ethic, committed to delivering safe, efficient, and visually stunning results that meet client needs. My journey began in stage crew, where I gained invaluable experience working alongside talented professionals, which eventually led me to become a lighting technician. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with production teams from around the world, both at a top local venue and as a freelancer at some of the country’s favourite festivals. This experience has provided me with deep expertise in lighting productions, as well as a solid understanding of live music production, allowing me to communicate and collaborate effectively across teams.
