In the last decade, I\u2019ve diversified my craft and dedicated my attention to bridging the gap between creative vision and practical output.

I take on project-based work that allows me to move freely from one workstream to another, be it acting or project management. This has afforded me broad exposure as to how different teams work, businesses operate and leaders think.

At first glance, it might seem like radically different directions, but they actually flowed into one another quite naturally. As a young professional, I developed a great part of my skillset in my work as an event manager. Being a trained actor and an event manager is surprisingly similar; both are a kind of stage performance. The guests\/audience arrive, take their seats in the venue\/theatre and they bear witness to a happening\/performance. In essence, it revolves around a shared experience of a group of people, much like theatre.

But what would a performance or an event be without the behind-the-scenes organisation and operations? Enter project management, my third workstream.

On any given day, you might find me building budgets at the crack of dawn, before heading into a full day of rehearsals or to the film set, meeting a client for a late afternoon strategy session, working in a quick run before sunset and answering emails over a good glass of wine by night \u2013 and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
