Based in Melbourne, Australia, I'm just starting out in what I hope will become my new career as a writer. I've written a couple of spec scripts in addition to a full-blown pilot which I'm excited to share with people.
Looking forward to connecting with you! :)

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. And thank you Maurice and Ashley for sending through those links. I'll be sure to check them out!
I've just written in the genre of fiction/drama, but I intend to start writing a script for a feature-length horror towards the end of this year or early next year.
I'm also eager to give comedy a go down the track.
In terms of what inspired me, I think House MD is what sent me down the rabbit hole of TV and cinema over 10 years ago now. But I also love shows like Breaking Bad, Avatar the Last Airbender, Doctor Who and the Crown, just to name a few.
