I am a passionate educator and dedicated performer with a rich background in both the arts and academia. I’ve been actively involved in acting since university, and I bring a unique energy and commitment to every creative project I’m part of.
On stage, I’ve had the opportunity to showcase my versatility in roles ranging from classical adaptations to original works. Some of my most memorable performances include playing multiple roles in Metamorphoses (2014), taking on the lead role in the original play Tragedy (2015), and performing a solo monologue in Tastings Tram 17 (2015). I’ve also brought humor and charisma to the stage, performing in Life of Spies at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2017) and sketch comedy at the Melbourne Fringe Festival (2017).
On screen, I’ve explored engaging storytelling through acting in the NPS Medicine Wise short film competition (2015) and presenting and co-directing the documentary series Tales from Nomad's Land for TV9 Mongolia (2016). Additionally, I’ve modeled for Livia Arena’s winter (2018) and summer (2019) collections, bringing creativity and professionalism to the fashion world.
Balancing my career in education with my passion for the arts, I thrive on collaboration, creativity, and the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects—both in and out of the classroom.
