Finding Myself Through Performance

Performing has always felt like the truest version of myself. Before I understood technique or had clear goals, I was drawn to creativity. I chose drama at school, loved art classes, and sang constantly at home. I didn’t do it to be the best—I did it because it felt natural. Performing was never something I had to force; it came instinctively. Even then, I knew I felt most like myself when I was creating or performing.

Building Confidence and Early Training

At thirteen, I attended a performing arts school. That time wasn’t about perfecting my skills—it was about building confidence. I learned how to stand in front of people, take up space, and allow myself to be seen. A project where I had to watch and reflect on musicals introduced me to Heathers, which became a turning point in how I viewed performance.

The Moment Everything Changed: Heathers

Heathers shifted everything for me. I became completely absorbed in it, imagining myself on stage in those roles. For the first time, performing felt like more than a hobby—it felt like a calling. I stopped wanting a backup plan and started dreaming seriously about a life in performance, including Broadway.

Choosing the Path: Stageworks and Big Ambitions

That dream led me to Stageworks, where I met Gemma Marinus. During my audition, I said I wanted to perform everywhere—on stage, on screen, and even behind the scenes. That moment marked a clear commitment to this path and to pursuing it fully.

Motivational Planning and Personal Growth

At Stageworks, I was introduced to motivational planning. It helped me understand how my mindset and personal life connect to my goals. Gem focuses on developing people, not just performers, and often saw potential in me before I saw it in myself. That guidance helped me grow with clarity and intention.

Discovering the Full Scope of Performance

In my first year, I explored every side of performance. I realised I didn’t just love being on stage—I also loved what happens behind it. I became interested in leadership, direction, and storytelling as a whole. Performing became less about being seen and more about creating something meaningful.

Learning the Discipline of Singing

I learned that singing requires discipline and training. It’s not just about making sound—it’s about building strength and control. Singing became one of my most honest forms of expression. It reminded me that skill comes from consistent effort and the willingness to learn.

Overcoming Challenges in Dance and Confidence

Dance didn’t come naturally to me, and I often felt uncomfortable in my body. Still, I showed up, practiced, and asked for help. Over time, I improved and began to see my body as capable. With support from my teachers, I gained confidence and pushed past my insecurities.

How Performance Has Shaped Who I Am

Performing has made me more confident and resilient. It challenges me, but it also brings me the most joy. Whether I’m on stage, on set, or backstage, I feel happiest in those spaces. I love learning, improving, and making audiences feel something. Performing isn’t just something I do—it’s a core part of who I am.

Writing

Writing has always been in the background of my life. Even when I wasn’t doing it, my mind was full of ideas, stories, and emotions. When I was younger, I imagined a story about witches after watching a TV show, and that idea stayed with me for years.

By the time I got to Stageworks, I hadn’t written in years. During my first year, we had to create a short film, and I struggled to find an idea. One night, while listening to “Verse” by Emily Jeffri, something clicked. The song brought back old emotions, and I started writing without a plan.

What I created surprised me. It became a story rooted in real emotion, which I developed with my acting teacher, Carly Graeme, into a short film. Seeing my words come to life was incredibly powerful.

Since then, writing has become a way for me to process my thoughts and emotions. It allows me to be honest in ways I sometimes can’t out loud. I owe rediscovering it to the people at Stageworks, who encouraged me to explore that part of myself.

Photography

Photography entered my life quietly, the way most meaningful things do. I’ve always liked taking pictures — not for perfection, but to capture moments I found beautiful. It felt like a way of saying, this mattered to me, and inviting others to see the world the way I do.

In 2025, during Born To Perform at Stageworks, I wasn’t heavily involved on stage, but I wanted to be present in the process. I brought my camera to rehearsals and asked Gemma if I could take behind-the-scenes photos. I started with an old Sony camera and occasionally used Ryan’s Canon, documenting rehearsals, connections, quiet moments, and movement.

Photography became another form of storytelling for me — one rooted in observation. When Gemma’s husband, Matt, saw my photos and told me I had a strong eye, it gave me the confidence to take photography seriously. I asked my father (very, very nicely) for a camera for my birthday, and from there, photography became something I wanted to grow and nurture intentionally.

What I love about photography is its honesty. There’s no script — just timing, instinct, and emotion. Whether it’s performance photography, behind-the-scenes moments, or portraits, I’m drawn to capturing authenticity and feeling rather than perfection.

Wallflower Media Collective

Wallflower Media Collective represents collaboration at its most honest. During my time at Stageworks, an old friend, Ryan Fuhr, re-entered my life. Ryan has become like a big brother to me and has been one of the most inspiring creative presences in my life over the last five years.

In 2024, I participated in a 48-Hour Film Festival with Ryan, alongside his brother Sean Fuhr and their best friend Josh King. In just two days, the four of us and the rest of our team created a film that was raw, emotional, and gut-wrenching — and somehow, deeply beautiful. That experience introduced me to a kind of creativity I didn’t know I was missing: intense collaboration, fast decision-making, and collective storytelling.

Soon after, I was invited to officially join Wallflower Media Collective. Today, the collective consists of Ryan Fuhr, Sean Fuhr, Joshua King, Talitha Maree, and myself. Wallflower allows me to merge everything I love — writing, performance, filmmaking, and collaboration — with people I trust and admire.

It’s a space where creativity is shared, challenged, and celebrated. Being part of Wallflower feels like coming home to storytelling in its purest form.

This is who I Am Now

At the core of everything I do is storytelling. I love telling stories. Storytelling is what I am about. Whether it is through performing on stage, writing something, taking pictures with my camera, or making a film, I am driven by how I feel, connecting with people, and being truthful. I really like being in places where I can be creative. This can be on a stage behind my camera, on a film set, or just sitting somewhere quietly making something that means a lot to me. Storytelling is my passion.

I am a creative, and I love being a creative. Sometimes I work by myself. Sometimes I work with other people. I know what it takes to make something from the beginning to the very end. When I am working on something, I put my passion and my heart into everything that I do.
