As the Philanthropy and Events Manager at the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, I am responsible for the planning and implementation of all our development activations. These include philanthropy focused activities as well as those for our corporate partners. My aim is to integrate events into the company which reflect the dynamic nature of the orchestra and its extensive history, but also directs our supporters to becoming more deeply engaged with the work that we do. I also take responsibility for developing and implementing development and fundraising strategies and campaigns to support the orchestras artistic activity, and produce all arts grant applications on behalf of the orchestra through both Government funding bodies and independent foundations and trusts. I am deeply passionate about creative industries in Australia and feel that properly engaging our communities to support the arts through partnerships and funding is of vital importance.

Jun 2016 - Jan 2017
The production music experience can, and should, be better. This idea has been the driving force behind Big Bang & Fuzz for fifteen years. It all starts with the library. As an independent company, nobody dictates the music we offer. We hand-pick our labels and composers, and work hard to discover and license new music from all over the world. BBF may be a boutique service, but we're not small - we have thousands of albums, and release new music every day of the week. Beyond the music, we’re committed to service. We’re constantly refining our custom-built database to make searches easy and effective. And our team of music industry experts is always here to pull together custom playlists based on the requirements of your project. We understand that it’s your job to produce great video. And while music is a huge part of what you do, it isn’t your only concern. This is why we’ve worked to build an evolving service that suits the needs of creative, production, and post-production professionals. As Music Coordinator at BBF, I’m here behind the scenes to support the account staff in delivering the best possible service to our clients. From general account and administration support to music research and assisting with playlist creation, I am immersed in both the needs of our clients and the content of the BBF collection.
