She has worked as a Marketing Coordinator at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts and Brisbane Powerhouse; Marketing Manager at Brisbane Writers Festival; content creator at Crack Theatre Festival; and as a Marketing Officer for Arts, Community Engagement and Tourism at Ipswich City Council.
