Acting is a venture into another world that I get to be a part of.

I am lucky to have completed work on both two hot new TV shows including Brown Brothaz and Outrageous Fortune Series 6 both of which are two of New Zealand's Prime Time TV series on TV3. I have had some very interesting Characters and I take on board any character as I love the way I get to develop as an actor with them.


I have had various Featured extra pieces in TVCs and short dramas but have also been the lead actress in several NZ Short Films.
 

I have also presented 2 Youth TV Programmes and 1 Music Show for Television.


I Speak English articulately and can also speak Maori and a little Samoan, I pick up languages fast which is helpful if the script is in a foreign language or even a fictional language.

Modeling experience:

Part-time model - paid commercial work


I have been modelling since 10 & feel I am very experienced in both Promotions and Product Branding as well.


I have modeled on several fashion shows, including NZ Fashion Week and Style Pasifika. I have also been a top ranked Auto X girl.


I have entered and placed well at several Bikini Competitions and raised thousands for my Charity of choice Surf Lifesavers New Zealand.



I have modeled nude for artistic photographic purposes and believe that it takes a strong and confident individual to achieve well in this type of modeling all of which I am.



I have huge experience not just in Acting and Modeling but also in Promotions too

TV & Reality
I have not appeared on any game shows, reality TV shows or anything of the sort, This would be a completely new experience for me.

Film & Stage Crew


PRESENTER / DOCO DIRECTOR / PRODUCTION COORDINATOR

I Presented 2 Shows for television both of which were Youth Targeted including Taiohi, a daily magazine style format show, which was both informative and covered Polynesian youth issues, and Vibe, a weekend music show . The most valuable experience included Studio links, Directing Talent and interviewing both National and International Celebrities.

Duties Included:

- Storyboarding

- Cuts only editing.

- Post Production

More Recently I wrote and pieced together the storyline and synopsis for a documentary on Young Women and Violent Crime Girl Gangs. The experience learnt from this was invaluable to my capabilities in both Pre and Post Production. I also gained firsthand knowledge about interviewing people about more sensitive issues.

- Synopsis Development

- Advanced Interviews for Research

- Processing Video Footage.

- Legal Obligations for Documentaries

Magazine


PUBLICIST
I believe that as the industry develops so should our skills in NZ I love working with our Native Roots I.e. MIKA is someone I dearly loved working for because creating publicity for LIVE SHOWS has always been an exciting and “Full ON” experience, something MIKA is internationally renowned for. This show was the first of its kind ever in New Zealand and so I found the Promotional work behind it both invigorating and challenging.

- Create National and International Media and Public interest in MIKA the Show.

- Co-ordinate Media at live shows / Press Conferences.

As the primary publicist and Promotions Coordinator, I was solely responsible for the media liaison for MA-V-ELLE. I was also instrumental in the construction of their first National Tour of New Zealand, and created the networks and venues for the group to perform at. I worked both from home and within FESTIVAL RECORDS, the distributor company, to initiate Media and Public interest in the Tour and Their Album Release.

- Construct and network MA-V-ELLE National Tour

- Organise and Co-Ordinate Media at LIVE SHOWS

- Compile GST / PAYE returns.

- Processing Invoices. Maintaining Vehicle Log Books
