actor biography
I was born in Auburn, Sydney on May 14, 1977. However, I practically grew up on Hearbreak High, starting when I was 16 years old.
I appeared in Heartbreak High for three years, originally cast as Stella's (Peta Toppano) daughter. However, I did stray from the show to do a season on ABC TV's drama series Police Rescue where I played Ana - the squad's receptionist.
My first step into the entertainment industry came at the Johnny Young Talent School where I danced, sang and acted my way through five years. When I was twelve, I joined Kids Unlimited, a show group that toured throughout New South Wales. After four years with the group I decided it was time to spread my wings and I set about winning the role of Katerina on Heartbreak High. Because of my background in dance, I was able to introduce it into Katerina's life and, as you know, it was because of her passion for dance that she ended up leaving Hartley.
I credit most of my drama training to my Heartbreak High drama coach, Nico Lathouris, who spent every day on the set with us going over every scene.
When I am not working, I still love to dance and keep fit, go to the movies and just hang out with friends.
