I write, make films and am a consultant with a diversely skilled background in film and arts festival programming, languages education, project management and government policy/strategy/website development. I am in Italy to develop a bilingual program called My Music Languages using song writing, music, film and social media for languages education (particularly English). My Music Languages is supported by the Italian Government Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Victorian State Government Department of Education (Australia), Roma Tre University and the Italian Institutes of Culture in both Sydney and Melbourne (Australia).
