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).
Recent screen acting credits include Shortland Street (‘Renee Carlisle’, 2023) and the docudrama Six Angry Women (‘Jenny’, 2020) directed by Megan Jones.
In September 2023, I directed my show ÉMILIE at Q Theatre for a sold-out premiere season.
