As an actor, I have performed lead and support roles in various short & corporate films for ABC, AFTRS, CommBank TV, Ikonfilm, Macquarie Uni, IFSS, SFS, UNSW, BAPTS, Trop Fest & Bond University, QLD. In theatre, I played Sarah/Ailsa and Rachel in 'Songs of Grace & Redemption' for Devil May Care/2010 Sydney Fringe Fest directed by Danielle O'Keefe, the storyteller in ‘Titus – The Ultimate Murder Ballad Musical’ for Gumption Uber Theatre/Darlinghurst Theatre, ‘Once a Catholic’ for Woodward Theatre (QUT), in ‘Pipin’, ‘Millenium’ and ‘Angels’ for Theatre North, and in ‘Hating Alison Ashley’ for Theatre-Theatre.
As a singer, I performed as weekly entertainment at Vino’s Riverside Wine Bar/Cafe, Glassworks Bar/Restaurant and Oakes Hotel (all Brisbane). In Sydney, I have provided entertainment at weddings and backing vocals for various band CD recordings.
As a director, I have directed & choreographed for theatre & musical productions mainly focusing on my specialty of working with young people. I directed ‘Loose Lips’, ‘Boy Overboard’ and ‘One’ for Green Bug Theatre, ‘Oliver! The Musical’, Return to the Forbidden Planet’, ‘Cross Town Traffic’, and ‘Tommy’ for Marist College North Shore. I was co-writer, assistant director and performer for Theatre North’s ‘Millenium’.
As a writer, my plays include ‘Loose Lips’ (adapted from Chris Wheat’s novel, Loose Lips) which I directed for Green Bug Theatre, touring the show in various North Sydney schools, and ‘Cross Town Traffic’ with Marist College North Shore.
I am also working as teacher and facilitator of acting workshops for teenagers, and a mentor for young actors, directors and writers across Sydney.
