Achievements at Elderslie High School

*   Glinda in the school production of The Wizard of Oz in 2010

*   Member of the EHS Vocal Ensemble

Truthfully, I was never the top kid in class, or the loudest, or the most creative. I remember being the girl who was passionate about so many things and experienced a lot of self-doubt when I wanted to try out for the things I loved. Every year I thought about participating in the Talent Quest and the Musical and Ballroom Dancing, yet it was only in my final year of school that I finally had the confidence to audition for The Wizard of Oz.

High school consolidated my love of performance and helped me recognise that it was okay to go after the things I wanted, and so I effectively put this into practice as extra-curricular activities in my last few years of school, having been a part of:

*   Campbelltown Theatre’s The Wiz (’19), Pinafore (’10) and Oklahoma (’11)

*   C4 Choir: Performed at The Cube and other functions.

Looking back, I wish I just launched in and did everything I wanted to do without fear, however that has actually become a huge life lesson for me. I now intentionally set myself up for opportunities that test my comfort zone, because they always yield the best results, and my career today is a testament to that lesson!
