I am a highly experienced workshop trainer in digital media and digital storytelling.
For five years, I ran weekly media skills workshops in regional towns in Central Victoria. These free workshops were open to the public, and were held in libraries, schools, and other community venues as part of the ABC’s ABC Open regional, audience-led media project.
I taught one-off workshops and workshop series in memoir writing, photography, video, documentary, audio recording and editing, and social media. The photos, videos, audio and written stories that came from these workshops were then published or broadcast on the ABC.
