Career Profiles
For near three years I have been fortunate enough to work in Partnerships and Development with the passionate and dedicated team at the Adelaide Film Festival (AFF).
My background stems across account management in print, television, digital, and cinema advertising, as well as working as a production assistant for a local film and commercial video production company, which I initially approached from a work experience perspective. I studied Media Arts, majoring in Film and Television at the University of South Australia, and completed my honours project in cinema advertising and promotional discourse.
No day is ever the same at AFF, which I love! With my background in media sales, there was a slight learning phase in moving across to development and partnerships, a festival environment, and the arts sector. However, there are certainly similarities and strengths with my strong sales, negotiation, client-facing experience, and adaptability skills I gained through such roles, being able to work to competing deadlines and under pressure. It has also been wonderful to be part of a collaborative team, constantly speaking to different people, exploring various ways to collaborate, activate spaces, and deliver an exciting festival that brings together a multitude of ideas and creativity. Seeing it all come together is incredibly rewarding.
It feels great to be part of an organisation that passionately gives back and creates stories that say something important and can be enjoyed for years to come.
