Age: 33

When I was little, I wanted to be: Tom Selleck’s wife. or a nun.

Favourite band: I couldn’t possibly narrow it down to one…depends on the mood…The Killers, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Frou Frou, Ozomatli, Sting, Evermore, The Shins, Coldplay, ….and the list goes on

Best movie I’ve seen: Um, I used to be indecisive..but, now I’m not sure…. Crash, Fargo, Love Actually, Life Is Beautiful, Casablanca, Chocolat..

My ideal weekend: Well, ideally it would be at least a 3 day weekend… including; (in no particular order)

Copious amounts of beautiful food and wine shared with family and friends…laughing and loving until we burst!

A spot or three of shopping.

A whole lot of time chasing and rolling around on the floor with my pug and any other canine wanting to join in. (I adore dogs!)

A trip to the movies or theatre.

Strapping on skis and hurtling down a mountain.

Not answering questionnaires about my favourite things!

It’s long been a passion for us to make a difference while making ads. It’s fine to encourage punters to ‘buy buy buy’, but we also want to make a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.

Free To Be Kids is a non profit organisation that exists to rescue, shelter, and set free children who are exploited, abused, and in desperate need. They have projects in three countries, and we are helping to fund a Childrens Home and Safe House in Handpost, India. This home resuces, shelters and cares for young children and babies who have been abused, been involved in child prostitution, or explotation. It’s just mind blowing to hear some of the stories of the kids who have been resuced from real, horific situations.

We are partnering with Free To Be Kids on a monthly basis and contributing financially to their work. It’s our dream to one day be able to fully fund one of these safe houses.

We’re also encouraging our voiceovers to ‘give a voice for a voice’ –  donating just one voice track a month – with the money that we would pay them going towards our monthly contribution, and helping give these kids a voice in what would otherwise be a terrible life for them.

If you’d like more info, or would like to get involved, you can become an Ambassador from just $5 a month. It’s a crazy small amount – but can make a huge difference. Check out their website www.freetobekids.org – or drop us a line.

We’re really excited to welcome another talented producer to the Abe’s Audio team. 

CJ joins us with a few years of commercial radio production experience already under his belt. He’s a gun producer and will help us us to continue to meet and exceed even the tightest deadlines.

Welcome aboard mate – enjoy the ride!
