Über den Autor
S.K. Reid is an author and runs her own video production and photography business based in outer Melbourne. With a background in acting and performance, Reid moved from in front of the camera to behind, preferring to be in charge of creating the final product. I love the storytelling that one can do with film, or how a beautiful photograph can speak a thousand words. Reid is a volunteer firefighter and recipient of the National Emergency Medal. Established by Her Majesty The Queen in response to the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009, the Medal is for service to others in a National Emergency. She also has a great interest in emergency management, bushfire and emergency response, and safety initiatives, as well as being a passionate advocate of community resilience.
