In 2006 and 2007 I have been teaching yrs 6 -10 drama at Burgmann Anglican School. In 2007 I directed Burgmann's first school play Antigone, by Sophocles.
From the year 1993, I have been involved in learning Speech and Drama, under the guidance of an AMEB Speech and Drama Teacher. In 1994, I undertook my first practical examination and my marks in this and the subsequent examinations are as follows:
1994: 2nd grade … B+ (Credit Plus)
1995: 3rd grade … A (Honours)
1996: 4th grade … A (Honours)
1997: 5th grade … A+ (High Distinction)
1998: 6th grade … A (Honours)
2003: 7th grade ... A (Honours).
I compete in the annual Goulburn and Canberra Eisteddfods and generally achieve good marks. In 2005 I received the most marks for any competitor in both Goulburn and Canberra Eisteddfods for a character monologue. In 2004 I was awarded the Speech and Drama Scholarship for the Most Outstanding Competitor at the Goulburn Eisteddfod.
In the time between 1998 and 2003, I completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours at the University of Newcastle. After completing a double major in film and drama, I spent one year writing a thesis as part of my Honours degree: Music in Melodrama: From the Victorian Stage to Twentieth Century Screen. My mark for this work was a High Second-Class Honours. This original thesis included three disciplines, which is not only rare, but also very challenging.

In 2003 I completed a Certificate IV for Small Business Management with South East Training Services.
I love acting and enjoy the challenges of performing a variety of characters. I am also very crafty and creative which gives me the many ideas for my workshops.
