Date of birth: 16 November 1977,
Birth Place: Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Throughout my life I have grown up around the show
biz arena. I've always felt most at home in the theatre. Whether it be
peering from the wings at an immaculate ballerina, dozing in the auditorium
whilst the actors attempted there twentieth dress rehearsal for the day,
or teaching Marcel Marceau a few moves at the age of three.
Throughout my school years I endeavored to get in any production possible
whether it were in or out of school. I learnt ballet; jazz and character
dance for about seven years until I realized that I was better to woo
the audience with my words, not my feet.
My first professional theatre debut was at the Twelfth Night Theatre in Brisbane. Playing the role of Sara, in Picnic at Hanging Rock. In my last year of high school I was awarded drama captain. On graduating school I went for all the necessary auditions for the renowned drama schools in each state. I committed myself to a three-year course at Queensland University of Technology.
In my last year at the university I went for an audition for Day of the Roses, an Australian mini series. I was awarded the role of Erica Watson. Later in the year I auditioned for a two-person play with QPAT, Kill Everything You Love. It was an extremely intense drama of two school friends dealing with the suicide of one of the class mates. The play was extremely successful in a dramatic and educational context. I returned to the QUT course to showcase with my graduating year in Brisbane and Sydney.
I moved to Sydney and continued to participate in any class that would assist my craft. These included voice, accent and dialect and voice and movement classes at the Actors Center. I then performed a guest role on Water Rats. Shortly after I became the new addition to Farscape. During the first hiatus of Farscape I played a guest role on Beastmaster. Later I performed in an Australian feature film, The Monkeys Mask. Due to schedules clashing I was pulled from the film to continue work with Farscape. Farscape took me to the states to promote the show at the Comic Con in San Diego and the first Farscape convention in Burbank. Whilst in the states I participated in Seeing Ear theatre in the production Titanic Dreams.
On return to Australia I worked as a guest star
on Lost World. At present I have returned to Farscape series three. Whilst
shooting Farscape I endeavor to participate in other productions that
will fit into the schedule and assist my experience within the entertainment
industry.
