Live Promotional Modelling Campaigns in various locations

I have appeared on 4 separate US TV sitcoms, with l recurring characters on Hotel Vegas and Heartbreak Café, as well as a small role on the Emmy - winning comedy series Dharma & Greg.

In New Zealand, I work both with the Otago School of Medicine and the Police College during their "live real situations" testing portions of their specialised training programs.
For this, I am given the role of a 'patient' or 'civilian/suspect' for the individual doctor or officer to deal with. I am provided with the basic details that are relevant to the simulation and I'm left to 'fill in' the details and provide a full emotional life, and let the reality of the moments unfold.
These 'SIMS' (Simulations) are usually quite demanding on both the tested and myself, mentally, physically and emotionally. They are also exhilarating, amazing learning experiences and incredibly rewarding for me. I am humbled by the work doctors and officers do.

In addition, I have been a member of a troupe of Improvisers that perform regularly in front of large audiences as well as small ones, in varying locations and circumstances.

I am an actress who doesn't mind getting into a bit of dirt, climbing some trees to rescue a friend, or throwing on a duster and blue Copper goggles to get on top of a bronzy steed!
I'm very comfortable in front of the camera, don't take myself too seriously, and thrive on being physically and emotionally expressive.
I enjoy performing in all sorts of roles in varying genres, with a definite penchant for sci-fi!
