I’m a professional actor and performance artist with more than a decade of experience creating bold, engaging theatre and creative content for adult audiences across Australia and internationally.

What I do

My practice blends storytelling, humour, and character work with a focus on connection and out-of-the-box engagement—whether on stage, in workplaces, or in unexpected community settings.

Once Upon a Wine…

After two sell-out appearances at Red Earth Arts Festival, Once Upon A Wine (formerly Wine Story Time) is ready to delight new audiences with its signature blend of nostalgia, wit and cheek.

Production and curation

Alongside my performance work, I also have experience producing and curating touring and festival content—skills I bring to creative collaborations and independent projects.
