ACTOR
I am an award-winning Australian actor and director with over 20 years experience.
I find myself playing a wide array complex characters over various genres - it’s all about range, baby!
Some of my characters include an angsty goth mortician in the comedy series Killa Kafe (Best Ensemble at Miami Web Fest), a Harvard student turned psychopathic killer in the award-winning thriller feature Ravenswood, and an intelligent teacher of delinquents in the play The Spoils by Jesse Eisenberg, for which I received excellent reviews.
I wrote, co-produced, directed and acted in two short films - Rapid (Best Actress at several festivals) and Blind Turn (Best Director at Europe Film Festival).
Acting is my passion and purpose, and I adore immersing myself in characters, text, and collaborating with artists.
