Melissa's journey with Q Theatre has been one of appreciation and passion, as a regular patron over the past few years. Now, we're delighted to welcome her to the office, where her expertise and enthusiasm will undoubtedly make a significant impact.
"Theatre has been integral to my life from a young age, and I'm super excited to join the amazing Q team and its diverse community. I've encountered thought-provoking, awe-inspiring shows at Q, and I'm eager to deepen my involvement in the creative process. Working with talented individuals across various roles – from theatre makers to comedians – is a joy, and I'm delighted to help showcase their exceptional work across different platforms, engaging both new and existing audiences.” - Melissa
Melissa has over a decade of experience in delivering exceptional marketing, digital, creative, and consulting services across the arts, charity, public and private sectors in Aotearoa and offshore. She completed her Master in Technological Futures at AcademyEX in 2021 and brings a collaborative and innovative approach to Q.
