A strong start to 2026!

It’s been an exciting and creatively rich start to the year, with a number of meaningful milestones already unfolding.

From the Australian premiere of Well-Behaved Women to performing at the WIN Entertainment Centre for International Women’s Day, 2026 has begun with powerful opportunities to share stories and connect through music and performance. And in true “the show must go on” spirit — even in the face of a head injury and a fractured leg — the drama, the passion, and the love for the craft never stopped.

I’ve also had the pleasure of attending the premiere screening of Life Could Be a Dream, and being part of the incredible creative energy at the Wollongong Short Film Festival.

Beyond performance, I was grateful to take part in a WIN TV interview to help raise awareness and funds for Arcadians Theatre — a space that plays such an important role in our local arts community.

Alongside these experiences, I’ve continued developing my skills through a Wollongong Grants Writing Workshop, supporting future creative projects and collaborations.

It’s only the beginning of the year, and I’m looking forward to what’s still to come.
