Born in invercargill but brought up in sunny Hawkes Bay on the East coast of NZ. Attended Taikura Rudolf Steiner School from age 7 to 18. This school is a more alternative style of education which aims for a more wholesome and well-rounded education. It appealed to me and my family because of its value and quality teachings in all of the arts which are my passion. Through the Steiner system my drama developed immensely and I gained skills that I would never have acquired in a state school-styled system.
Throughout my teenage years I performed on stage thoroughly averaging
3 - 5 productions a year.
It is my ultimate dream to become a professional actress. I wish to pursue this by gaining as much training and hands-on experience as I possibly can. In the future I wish to attend Toi Whakaari the most prestigous drama school in NZ and also take up some tertiary study involving film, journalism and social science.
With my extensuve experience, sheer ambition and passion, plus my bubbly personality, I believe I will achieve the goals I have set for myself.
