Rebecca is an ACCTA and ADG nominated TV Director whose recent work includes directing on the hit Stan Original series, Bump. She directed eight episodes across the last three seasons of the acclaimed show, including the finale, helping guide the award winning drama through its evolution into one of Australia’s most beloved television shows.

She also directed on season two of ABC TV’s Austin, an offbeat comedy starring Michael Theo, further cementing her reputation for crafting emotionally resonant and tonally nuanced television.

A graduate of AFTRS and a recipient of Screen Australia’s Talent Escalator and the ADG’s Shadow Directing program, Rebecca’s earlier work spans projects for Aquarius Films, ABC, NBCUniversal, and Roadshow Rough Diamond. Highlights include her short films The Great Dark, The Gathering, and her first television episode for Netflix’s The Unlisted, which earned her a 2020 ADG nomination. All of which showcase her signature affinity for raw, character-driven narratives with emotional depth.

Her early career highlights include producing the historic 50th-anniversary episodes of Play School, executive producing the film adaptation of Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey, and shadowing director Michael Rymer on the Emmy-winning Battlestar Galactica (SyFy).
