“I went to Burwood Girls High School and was so fortunate that a teacher, Jenny Harding, introduced a new elective class – a Certificate 3 in Film Production. She inspired me to make a film for my HSC and go to Sydney Film School. Apart from all her technical expertise, she also taught me how to succeed as a woman in an industry basically dominated by men. That was 15 years ago and I am still learning.
I believe it’s so important to enable all young people to explore the arts and develop their creativity, which will inspire them in and out of the classroom. Like me, they too might choose a lifetime career they love.”
