A dual British and Aussie national, Hayley is a Melbourne based stage, screen, and voice actor. She is an alumni of the National Youth Theatre London and a graduate of Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance (BFA in Acting). Other achievements include being the scholarship recipient for the 12-month Foundation Acting program at the Academy Drama School in London, as well as an original cast member of the award-winning Pant’s on Fire Theatre company’s devised production, Ovid’s Metamorphosis.

Hayley is a physical and vocal chameleon with an excellent ear for accents, and is capable of tremendous range, thriving in productions with complex material that she can tackle with her signature heart and humour.

Although life took her on a different path for several years - which included becoming a Personal Trainer and a Life Coach, and building a multi-award-winning small business during COVID - her lifelong love for performance and the craft of acting stayed with her (she even incorporated voice, improvisation, and clowning classes in her confidence group coaching program for women!). Longing to get back to her acting career and experience more creative fulfilment, she finally closed her business, moved to Victoria, and got accepted into the NIDA Screen Actor's Studio program in January 2024, where she has been honing her craft for the screen all year.
