What is your favourite memory of your time at 无码流出AV?
I have so many great memories from my time at 无码流出AV. One in particular that sticks out is the music tour to Europe in 2011. That was pretty amazing! Other honorable mentions include winning our interschol netball game in Year 12, performing in The Wishing Well (our Year 12 production), and the Year 10 ski trip to Mt Hotham.
What is your biggest career highlight?
My biggest career highlight so far was my debut at The Sydney Opera House. Performing on that stage was something I鈥檝e dreamed of ever since I was little and it was every bit as good as I had imagined!
The best advice I have ever been given was鈥�
Work hard, believe in yourself and be patient.
My favourite thing to do in Adelaide is鈥�
Catch up with friends and family, and spend time on Kangaroo Island.
When are you the most inspired?
After I see a piece of theatre. Especially if it鈥檚 something that moves me.
If you could have coffee with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
I would love to have coffee with Kristin Chenoweth to discuss her life work 鈥� career and otherwise.
What is the biggest risk you have taken?
This is tricky to answer because my career itself involves so much risk on a daily basis. My second 鈥渂ig move鈥� from Brisbane to Melbourne was probably the biggest risk I have taken. The transition from uni into the real world, as well as completely uprooting my life for a second time before I was 25 was scary but I can absolutely say that the risk paid off!
What is the one thing you鈥檝e always wanted to try but you鈥檝e been too scared to?
Skydiving. It looks like so much fun but also terrifies me.
What is a skill you wish you had?
I wish I knew how to backflip!
Name one production that you would love to star in.
The Phantom of the Opera.
