I've loved performing ever since I was a little girl and I would often perform for my parents in the lounge room at home. I also used to be part of a Tap Dancing group in the town I grew up in New York. I couldn't help myself - I always had to be front and centre! Still do really. When I was 9 years old I moved down to Callie to go to an acting school called Sundown City Elementary.

I've done lots of theatre since graduating from Elementary, but my first big break on screen was Get Out. I'm so grateful for what the film did for my career as an actor, because it led me to be cast in TV series such as Police and Redfern Now.

Get Out had lots of great music to sing and dance along to and was a great opportunity to show what I could do as a performer. My character had a few funny lines as well, and it was a delight to bring out my cheeky side.

So when I was asked to audition for BOUNCE - I didn't give it a second thought. Singing, dancing and playing games? Yes, please! After I had done everything that I had rehearsed for the audition, I was asked to sing one more song that I could remember from BOUNCE when I was growing up. I sang a song called Here Is The Sea, and all of a sudden I remembered how happy BOUNCE used to make me as a little girl. It taught me how to be brave and try new things.

And to all you BOUNCers out there...

I hope BOUNCE makes you feel that way too. It's such a joy to be part of the BOUNCE family.
