Upskilling
As an accredited Cert IV trainer, a graduate of New York University (NYU) film school and University of Technology Sydney (UTS) with a Bachelor in Film and Theatre Studies and a Master in Interactive Multimedia, I also teach Screen Business and Digital Producing courses at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), University of Technology Sydney (UTS), The University of Sydney, Metro Screen (vale, sadly), Billy Blue College of Design and Torrens University. I also offer bespoke digital media workshops, which I have delivered for other organisations such as Screenwest, ABC, SBS, Curiousworks, BMF and Bastion, to name a few.
I teach best industry practices and advocate strong project management workflows (mostly lean/agile) with a view to future proofing digital producers and helping students to prepare for successful careers in the workforce or up-skilling mid-career professionals pivoting in the workplace.
If you are interested in arranging a private workshop to accommodate your staff’s busy schedules and specific learning needs, please get in touch to arrange a consultation.

“Kate is an outstanding digital content producer and mentor. She gave me and the rest of my cohort her years of experience with a warmth and generosity rarely found in a classroom! Her expertise across such a wide variety of subjects and applications has given myself and others many tools to enter the emerging digital sector with confidence!”
“Just wanted to reiterate how much I enjoyed your teaching at AFTRS. The course was beautifully put together. I learned a great deal.”
“Kate is an absolute gem. I was fortunate enough to attend one of her inspiring, five-day intensive courses, where she brought a wealth of knowledge across all aspects of the digital space. She helped both me and my team fill in some of the digital blanks and gave us a clear and concise pathway to expand into. A rare find. Thanks Kate!”
