HELLO THERE!

(Extra points if you read that title in Ewan McGregor's voice...) 

Well, here we are. Allow me to share a little about myself.

I was born and raised on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia, and developed a love for storytelling and performing at a young age. I also enjoyed horse riding, tennis, singing, dancing, and reading throughout my school years, but it was acting that became the dream. 

I put this dream on hold to pursue another unique adventure and joined the Royal Australian Navy after graduating high school.

I have enjoyed n eighteen-year career as a Maritime Warfare Officer, completing postings at sea, across Australia and in the Middle East. I even managed to fit in a BA(Hons) and a Master of Philosophy, just to pass the time. While the Australian Defence Force has taught me many things, my craving for creativity and performing could not be satisfied through my naval service. So, I thought, 'Why not have both?!'

Out of uniform, I have completed training with NIDA; VCA; the Australian Shakespeare Company; the Prague Shakespeare Company; and, graduated from the Professional Full-Time Acting for Television Course at the Film & Television Studio International in Melbourne in 2019.

I have performed in numerous plays and musicals in Victoria, NSW and Europe, and began my screen career with a promotional commercial for the RSL Queensland in 2018. I have since enjoyed roles in 'Wentworth: Season 8', 'Halifax: Retribution' and 'The Secrets She Keeps' Season 2. 

In my "spare time", I am a mindset coach; I write creative fiction; I conduct Navy Reserve service as a Leadership Coach and Mentor; I keep fit and strong through pole dancing; and, I volunteer with The Lost Dogs' Home. I am also formulating a plan for an animal rescue retreat through which homeless animals and broken people can find belonging and love. 

 

I am energised by spending time with my numerous fur children; studying and learning new skills; reading Stephen King & Terry Pratchett; talking about Shakespeare; educating my palate; and, empowering and encouraging others to excel.

I have managed to fit a lot into 30-odd years and truly believe that variety is the spice of life. I am determined not to die wondering!

Feel free to drop me a line through any of the contact details below. 

Thanks for your time!
