About

I am a versatile Sydney-based actor, singer (soprano E3-F6), writer, and composer with extensive experience across theatre, cabaret and original musical developments. I stand out as a bold, multi hyphenate creative and deviser, having co-created and performed in award winning and nominated works such as Kauboj (Sydney Fringe Award Nominee) and The Hen House, as well as the Helpmann Award-nominated production Playlist. Having a strong musical background in voice, piano and guitar, as well as a wide range of accents (including Eastern European, RP, Cockney, and GenAm), I bring a rich, collaborative and distinctively dynamic presence to both screen and stage.
