What was your first job and what path did you take before working at Sydney Festival?

I am the Ticketing Manager for the Festival. I oversee the Ticketing Department, as well as manage our relationship with ticketing agencies and venue box offices.

Seeing all the happy, smiley faces in the audiences, and knowing that I played a part in getting them all there.

What is the most challenging part of your job?
Despatch - the tickets, they never stop printing!

What has been your most memorable Sydney Festival experience so far and why?
BATH BOY. Need I say more?

The Manganiyar Seduction. Ever since I first heard their unique sound I was super excited, and they certainly did not disappoint!

Either under my desk sleeping or in the Festival Garden.
