About

Hello!

Since I was a small child, I would help out in the gardens of my parents and grandparents. As an adult, I continued to establish the gardens at the various places that I lived at, as I loved gardening and the visible results that it delivered.

I started working in the commercial gardening space in 2024 whilst completing maritime studies. I enjoyed the work and being able to see the transformation of people’s gardens.

Prior to my transition to gardening, I studied advertising and media at university, I worked in the marine industry on yachts and superyachts, worked in marketing for an industrial material importer and distributor, and worked as a producer for the late Andrew McKinnon up until his death, producing classical concerts and touring with artists such as Sumi Jo, Joseph Calleja, the Kanneh-Mason family, Nicole Car, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, and many more.

I am also a qualified commercial skipper with my AMSA Master <24m NC, and AMSA Marine Engine Driver 3 NC tickets.

If I’m not with my daughter in my spare time, I can be found working on boats, or ocean swimming.
