About Me

Originally from Australia, now living in London, England, I'm a 24 year old actor/singer/songwriter. In 2013 I completed a Bachelors Degree in Musical Theatre at Central Queensland University in Australia. During that time I worked with directors such as Thern Reynolds (42nd Street), Peter Cousins (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying), Chloe Dallimore (Sweet Charity) and Jason Langley (Brigadoon). I've participated in workshops with the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Australia as well as acting workshops with Alex Newman who is the casting director for Glee and Supernatural. I currently perform at events and venues as a entertainer playing the guitar and singing covers and am in the process of recording my original songs as an album/demos.

Employment History & Experience

Aside from having completed a degree in Musical Theatre and completing up to grade 7 of my singing exams prior to the degree, I have for 6 years performing at venues and events singing and playing the guitar. I have also sung the Australian anthem at large charity events such as 'Relay for Life' as well as the Mackay Monster Truck show (and there was even fireworks while I was singing which was totally cool!). I am currently working on a album/demo cd to send out. I like writing songs and not just songs for myself but other singers too. I have been a singing teacher for 7 years and have had students compete in Mackay's got Talent, X-Factor Australia and the Voice (Australia).
