I am 19 years old and am pursuing a career in the performing arts. Most recently I was cast in The Gordon Frost Organisation & Opera Australia’s Fiddler On The Roof In Yiddish (Fidler Afn Dakh) at the Sydney Opera House & Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre as an onstage swing for the roles of Hodl, Khave, Shprintze & Beylke. Unfortunately the production has been indefinitely postponed due to Covid-19.
In 2019 I played the role of Éponine in Auckland Music Theatre & Amici Trust’s production of Les Misérables at the Civic Theatre. I have performed in a number of lead roles at the Aotea, ASB Waterfront and Civic theatres, including The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio, Fiona in Shrek the Musical, Demeter in Cats, Nancy in Oliver, Gabriella in High School Musical, Gertrude in Seussical the Musical and Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
I have formal training in singing, acting, tap dancing and ballet, jazz and pole dance. I make the most of all opportunities to develop my talents at National and International workshops. I finished year 13 at Epsom Girls Grammar School in 2018, where I gained an excellence endorsement in level 3 NCEA, as well as excellence endorsements in both performance music and drama. Since then I have been building my social media following (YouTube and Instagram) and taking all performance opportunities. My plan now is to seek professional performance opportunities in musical theatre abroad.
