ABout Me

I am an accomplished actor and acting coach with a career spanning both Australian and American theatre, film, and television. I am a Silver Logie Award recipient and a proud BFA graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). My extensive training includes years of study under prominent acting, movement, and voice coaches such as Nancy Banks, Larry Moss, Jean Louis Rodriguez, Kristoff Konrad, and Fran Bennett (Linklater vocal technique), all of whom have shaped the way I approach my craft.

​

I have a Cert IV in Training and Assessment. I teach units in the Advanced Diploma of Screen Acting at Screenwise as well as ongoing classes at various other schools.

​

My versatility across various mediums, combined with my deep passion for the craft, led me to become a dedicated acting coach and dramaturg in 2020. I believe that the craft of acting is hard work, but it is incredibly rewarding. I deeply value guiding emerging talent, and it brings me great joy to pass on the knowledge and experience I’ve gained throughout my career.

​

I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the industry’s most esteemed actors, including Liam Neeson, Diane Keaton, Morgan Freeman, Bill Skarsgård, Joel Edgerton, Tim Roth, Sam Neill, and Bryan Brown, under the direction of renowned filmmakers such as Jeremy Podeswa, Richard Loncraine, Niels Arden Oplev,  Nash Edgerton, Peter Weller and Michel Franco.
