Being a triple threat — or as I prefer to call it, “someone who loves using her skills as much as possible” — also includes vocals.
I’ve worked as a lead vocalist with a range of cover bands, as well as a backup singer/dancer for established cabaret productions including Catherine Alcorn’s The Divine Miss Bette in Australia and the USA, and SMA’s corporate group The Diamonds.
My work has taken me across Australia and onto major cruise ships as a guest entertainer which has given me some of the best experiences and strangest dressing rooms of my career.
Vision Australia
75th Carols
By Candelight
One of my vocal highlights was performing at Australia’s iconic Carols by Candlelight alongside my Here Come the Habibs co-star Georgia Flood. Together, we performed The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, under the musical direction of John Foreman.
The evening also featured artists including Delta Goodrem, Marina Prior, Tim Campbell, and many more, and was televised to over two million viewers across Australia.
Held annually at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl since 1938, Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight has become a Christmas Eve tradition for Australian families across the country.
Musical Theatre
Some of my stage credits include Jersey Boys, Hairspray, Xanadu, They’re Playing Our Song, A Man of No Importance, and Lovemusik, performing everywhere from large-scale musicals to Sydney’s acclaimed Hayes Theatre
Live performance has always felt a little electric to me — equal parts craft, chaos, collaboration, and excellent quick-change skills.
Cabaret – The Divine Miss Bette
Following standing ovations around the globe including triumphant seasons at the Sydney Opera House and across the USA, The Divine Miss Bette is a bawdy, brash and rapturous experience featuring multiple award-winner Catherine Alcorn channelling the legendary Bette Midler.
Recent tours include Darlinghurst Theatre, Adelaide Cabaret Festival and P&O.

Vocalist
Alongside my work as an actor and performer, I also work professionally as a vocalist — because apparently I enjoy cardio while singing.
I perform as part of SMA Productions’ The Diamonds, a high-energy three-girl vocal and dance show celebrating iconic divas across the decades.
I’m also available as a solo vocalist with live band and dancers, performing high-energy sets that jump between Latin pop, soul, and big commercial anthems think J.Lo, Gloria Estefan, Shakira, then suddenly River Deep – Mountain High or Proud Mary when things need a lift. Add live percussion, good energy, and the general rule that no one is staying seated for very long.
