Theatre is my home.
With a Bachelor and Honours in Creative Arts in the field of Acting, and nearly seven years of theatre experience, it is my favourite place to be. From devised, site specific, physical theatre, puppetry, the classics, and all the theatre productions I have helped create, I am reminded of how powerful theatre can be.

Finding a home in a new country. Building a legacy. Making a father proud.

I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT A GIRL CAN DO.
This is angry.
This is personal.
This is not what you think.

Hiccup!
Quokka Puppeteer
State Theatre, Amaze Festival, Perth - 2021
Festival Theatre, Adelaide - 2021
It’s a perfect, balmy night in the outback. A sleep-deprived camper, a cheeky quokka and an emu with a penchant for creating wild inventions, awake to discover that a koala has come down with a stubborn and ear-shatteringly loud case of the hiccups.
The three embark on an epic journey through the night that sees them frantically eat, sing and invent their way towards a cure before the sun comes up.
Hiccup is a hilarious rocking musical extravaganza about working together, finding friendship and how to, once and for all, stop the hiccups.

Gorgon
Maz & Lola
South Australian State Theatre Company
Ruby Award Winner 2016
Meet Lee and Maz. Best mates, invulnerable. It’s summer, their last year of school and they are going to go off. They are young and beautiful, tanned and strong. On one fateful night they are drunk and high, driving on the highway. Life shatters and only one is left to pick up the pieces.
Meet Lola. She looks exactly like Maz. Makes sense; she’s his sister. His twin. In the face of tragedy she’s looking for answers.
A theatrical thrill ride, Gorgon looks at the tricky dividing line between friendship and love, anger and grief. With a perceptive and sympathetic ear, it charts one of the most difficult moments of transition in life, from late adolescence to adulthood.
