About Me
I've been performing since I was four years old, first in dance (ballet, contemporary, krump) then orchestral & chamber music (flute, piano) and choral singing.
I began acting professionally in 2022, signing with NZ-based ODD Management and performing lead roles in a pantomime (Aladdin), stage musicals (The King & I, The Phantom of the Opera), numerous short films; and presenting on ad campaigns for VICE Australia & Tourism NZ, HIDDEN (an NZ/Singaporean adventure app), Kono Wines, Arapawa Blue Pearls, and many others. I have co-hosted live shows including the Auckland 'Family Rave Day', and worked with theatre companies Massive Theatre Co. and Binge Culture.
I also have a background in Māori weaponry, training at the NZ Stunt School & working as a stunt performer in projects such as the Māori TV series 'Kairākau' S4 (2024). In 2025, I was appointed director of the 11th Top of the South Film Festival, for which I organised & hosted nine live events.
