About Me

I'm a UK born, NZ raised 54 year old free-spirited woman heading to the UK late 2017 to travel and work freely. I'm the author of 2 books on euthanasia (one in screenplay format), 2 theatre plays and a very casual amateur actor but wanting MORE!! I can draw on the past chapters in my life to enrich my acting ... chapters as a Registered Nurse in all Critical Care services, a Commercial Pilot, a University Psychology student, an Equine Studmaster and rider, mother of 2 adult sons, a published author and a prison inmate (as a result of my work campaigning for Voluntary Euthanasia Law Reform.) Once I arrive in the UK (from NZ) in late 2017 I will be entirely free to travel and commit as required. Thankyou for your consideration :)

Miscellaneous Information

As a result of nursing my terminally ill mother in 1999, I wrote a book TO DIE LIKE A DOG which prompted a High Court trial and prison sentence in 2004. I then campaigned until 2010 in NZ for Voluntary Euthanasia Law Reform before stepping back to create a more balanced life. As my relationship of 7 years is in the process of dissolving, I am relocating from NZ to the UK (I am English born)and will be entirely free to travel and commit to any suitable projects. I look forward to working with you :)
