Hi there, I am a triple threat performer with an extensive performing background. I began singing at the age of 7 and was accepted as a soloist into the Tygerberg Childrens Choir, which competed internationally at Choir Olympics' all over the world, and won in Germany in 2005. This is where I had valuable classical music tuition.
I received advanced dance, singing, acting training and musical ATCL teacher training at The Waterfront Theater College via Trinity College of London examinations. After graduating from the New York Film Academy in 2014 I began producing films and shows in the US, and this became a complimentary career trajectory. In 2022 a feature film I produced and First AD'ed, The Blacklight, had a theatrical run at AMC theaters in the US.
Part time I teach musical theatre and heels classes in Amsterdam. I have worked all over the world and have a Dutch and US work visa.
