Career Highlights
 

Teaching

 

MELBOURNE

My students cover the full range from adult beginners to established professionals.  I helped Rob Mills develop his stamina and MT style for his role in Wicked and we still work together on all his performances.  I trained Michala Banas for Avenue Q, and was delighted when she won the Helpmann award for best actress in a musical.  I have taught on every vocational training in Melbourne.

 

LONDON

I was Head of Singing at Rose Bruford College, and also taught on the Jazz/Pop course at Trinity College.  Katrina Leskovich (Katrina and the Waves) and I worked together to prepare her first role in a musical. 

Performing

LONDON
I spent 15 years working in music theatre. My first role was Edith in Pirates of Penzance at the London Palladium, followed by Rose in Aspects of Love, and Charity in Barnum.

MELBOURNE
I returned to tour Australia in the Malthouse Theatre's Minefields and Miniskirts. I was the scheming mayor of Erinsborough in Neighbours,  and I was lucky enough to shoot the Powerball commercial in the Caribbean.

Composing

 

As part of my MMus in Songwriting I made an album of my song cycle, and am currently developing it for performance.
