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.

Boosted How To Guides
Planning your content
A crowdfunding campaign needs a ton of content. For the 30 or so days of funding, you’ll be coaxing, cajoling and flirting with your crowd, asking for money, and you’ve got to come up with a fresh way to ask every day. You’ve got to keep it interesting, enticing and exciting.31 Aug 2024 -
