About
I’m a Sydney based musical theatre performer and vocalist who has been performing since childhood. I trained at the Australian Institute of Music, completing a Bachelor of Music (Musical Theatre), and have performed across musical theatre, cabaret, contemporary performance and showgirl style entertainment. What I love most about performing is the contrast. I can move from a highly theatrica to the intimacy of cabaret or the glamour and energy of a showgirl performance. I’m happiest when I’m telling a story, whether that’s through a character, a song or simply the way I move on stage.
