A Jill of all trades who has worked as a secretary to nail artist to actor, her passion for writing, acting and theatre has led her to stand up comedy, which she has been doing regularly since mid 2003.

She graduated with a Bachelor of Sociology including Theatre and Film studies at the University of New South Wales in 1999, and has studied acting at Actor's Centre Australia and Reactor at Fox Studios.
