Bio

"I am a trained improv actor with the Improv Conspiracy, Melbourne, and in 2024 I have been diving deep into comedic improv roles. This in particular includes my presenting as a Park Ranger in 'Jurassic World The Exhibition', finishing in February 2025, as well as smaller roles in Curb Your Enthusiasm- and Anchorman-inspired shorts by Ben Ahearn ('Chip Squared', YouTube) and Tess Hansen ('Confused News', RMIT) which involved both improv and dialogue performances. Meanwhile, I have plentiful experience in extras acting, including for Swinburne on 'Bravado' and 'Big Johnny'.

I also have dabbled in behind-the-scenes crewing as a Production Assistant for shorts like 'Still Here' (dir. Scott Major) and 'Sofia' (dir. Kevin MV). In my free time, I adore writing my own pieces for the screen and stage, and have a couple of comedic shorts on the way, especially a 'The Office'/'Kenny'-inspired mockumentary.

Outside of the acting and filmmaking world, I am a scientist specialised in animal biology. I have ventured across the globe to participate in animal conservation efforts, having travelled to Costa Rica for sea turtle protection. I like to think this experience in a field very different to what I'm exploring currently, and this wanderlust I've fulfilled, have each assisted me in widening my vision. These inspire me to create different stories from those that colleagues make, as I know about the scientific world and its procedures first-hand, so hopefully to integrate such knowledge would help in producing more flavourful and fulfilling stories.

I am also a bartender by night, serving cocktails and performing trivia nights for customers weekly. I am very skilled behind the bar, much more in trivia, as I have appeared on TV game shows such as 'Tipping Point Australia' and 'Mastermind’."
