Through my education at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art I became aware of the possibilities in the entertainment industry. Having learned the foundations of acting, as well as creating & producing theatre, I am planning to one day run a theatre company with one of my class mates from AADA. I loved the major performances at AADA and being able to push myself as an actor in a safe learning environment".

I’ve always been passionate about performance; but it was only after my experience at AADA that I became aware of my love for other aspects of theatre and live performance. Thanks to this training & experience I now have the skills & confidence to balance my professional career between performance, production & creative roles. I aim to continue contributing to the Sydney theatre community; particularly the independent sector.
