Actor
With a natural stage presence and years of performance experience, I bring authenticity and depth to every role.
From the moment I first stepped onto a stage, I knew that storytelling would always be at the heart of my life. Acting has never simply been about performance for me, it is about connection - to the character, to the story, and to the audience. I bring a natural stage presence and years of professional experience to every project, approaching each role with authenticity, depth, and a deep respect for the creative process.
My background in drama education has given me a strong foundation in character development and storytelling.
I understand how to build layered, emotionally rich performances that honour the writer's vision while bringing my own unique interpretation to the role. I am committed to the craft, both in preparation and in performance, and I pride myself on being meticulous, diligent, and highly adaptable to the needs of every production.
Beyond the work itself, I believe that collaboration is at the heart of great storytelling. I am known for being a supportive, reliable, and positive presence both on and off set or stage. I value the relationships I build with directors, cast, and crew, and I approach every project with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for bringing stories to life.
Whether working in theatre, film, television, or voice work, I thrive in roles that challenge and inspire, and I am always seeking new opportunities to grow, connect, and create memorable work. If you are looking for a committed, versatile performer who brings warmth, integrity, and energy to every role, I would love to collaborate with you.
After numerous auditions and months of searching for the right person to bring this character to life, I was contacted by Lisa Southam.
Lisa went above and beyond to bring the character of Louise Mantel to the screen.
We discussed what was needed for the role, and she nailed it. Lisa did the work needed behind the scenes to deliver what was needed in this role.
On set, Lisa took direction easily, was a joy to work with, and really brought the character to life. On the screen, you forget you're watching an actor, and you see the character Lisa Southam portrayed.
It was a brilliant job by a very talented actress.
I met Lisa when she auditioned for my show, 'Back to MooMoo'. A show inspired by my Uncle who is a person with Down Syndrome.
Straight away, her work ethic shone through and with a talent that matched, I cast her without hesitation. With it being such a personal project, Lisa's nurturing nature helped the whole cast and crew bring their vulnerable selves and she contributed to making it feel like such a safe space. She was on board with every aspect of creating and producing the show and was always willing to go above and beyond for the project and her peers. Every decision she made was deeply thoughtful and intelligent and she always pushed herself and others to reach their full potential and beyond.
She was a dream to work with and I would recommend her in any creative capacity. She is a great collaborator and communicator.
Mother roles
I have a strong connection with meaningful mother roles: Recently depicted a mother of a daughter with Down Syndrome in a heart felt theatre production. And, have just wrapped a short playing a mother of teens.
My look, accent, and demeanour suit roles like teachers, doctors, and police officers, I can effortlessly step into these characters, adding depth and authenticity. I'm looking for opportunities that challenge me, stretch my abilities, explore new territories and push the boundaries of storytelling, whilst bringing my friendly and approachable energy to every project.
