Do you work in TV, film, theatre or all three?

I have worked both on screen and on stage and absolutely love both, however am now focusing mainly on film/TV

What do you like about acting the most?

The challenge of being given a character different to my own, and making people believe that’s exactly who they’re watching

When did you start acting? What got you started?

I’ve always loved the creative industry ever since I was young, doing little plqya and performances ever since I was in pre-school

What is your strength as an actor?

My ability to adapt

What is your favourite type of role to play? Why?

I have always loved those quirky, slightly psychotic characters - they’re challenging to portray, but if done well can really lift up a performance

What’s the best bit of advice you’ve been given?

Time is going to pass whether you try or not. So might as well try your absolute hardest

What’s the most interesting role you’ve had?

I played the elven sorceress Anakari in the short film Legends of Maritihia (based on the book by Peter Koevari).
I received stunt training during that time, got to shoot a bow and arrow and worked with some really incredible people.

What was your headshot session like?

Absolutely incredible. Having such a passionate photographer who genuinely loves what they’re doing gave me such confidence not only in my actual photography session, but got me even more excited to follow my passion for acting
