Kia ora, Bonjour.
I'm an actor, writer, musician and theatre director based in Auckland. I believe in the power of theatre to tell stories that entertain, educate and inspire.
Born in Wellington to Kiwi parents, I grew up in Port-Vila Vanuatu where I learned French as my first language. I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Auckland (Theatre Studies and History) and a Bachelor of Performing Arts (Acting) from Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School. I have worked on successful theatre productions for over a decade, including the award-winning play The Letter Writer by Juliet O’Brien at Circa Theatre and part of the NZ Festival of the Arts (2010), the sold-out season of Te Puhi by Cian Waitī at Auckland’s Herald Theatre (2017), The Wall at TAPAC for Auckland Fringe (2020), and the critically-acclaimed physical theatre show Habbuk at BATS for New Zealand Fringe Festival (2021). In September 2023, I directed my show ÉMILIE at Q Theatre for an almost sold-out first season. Recent screen acting credits include Shortland Street (‘Renee Carlisle’, 2023) and the docudrama Six Angry Women (‘Jenny’, 2020) directed by Megan Jones.
In between the arts, I have taught ESOL and pursued a career in advertising in Auckland and London. I currently provide marketing, comms and brand services to NZ businesses.

A campaign video is key to connecting with your crowd. People want to join you on your journey. The reason that people donate is that they want to engage with you and what you are doing. It really helps, when they can see the real people behind the scenes.04 Sept 2024 -

Pitching to media
Remember, not everyone you ask to give will give, so even a modest crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise a few thousand dollars requires getting in front of thousands of people.Unless you’re famous in your own right or have strong social influence, it’s unlikely you’ve got immediate access to a network of this size. Here’s where PR comes to the party.31 Aug 2024
