Biography

In the late 1970s, this individual embarked on her professional television career in Melbourne, Australia, landing a role as Officer Knox on the popular series "Prisoner" (also known as "Cell Block H" in the UK). This marked the beginning of her extensive work in the television industry, followed by guest appearances on notable shows such as "The Sullivans", "Cop Shop", and "Skyways". Her early career also included roles in young adult series produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

After returning to New Zealand in 1982, this talented actress began her local screen career, starring alongside Dean Parker in an episode of "Mortimer's Patch" for the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation. The episode dramatized Dean Parker's involvement in the disruption of the 1981 Rugby tour, a pivotal moment in the country's history that sparked controversy and marked the beginning of the backlash against colonization and the subsequent disregard for the Treaty of Waitangi.

Throughout her career, this accomplished actress has appeared in a range of notable productions, including "Marching Girls" for Television New Zealand, "Plainclothes" for South Pacific Pictures, and "Brokenwood", starring in the second episode of the second series, titled "Smelly Nelly".

In addition to her extensive work in television, this talented individual has also made a lasting impact on the popular soap opera "Shortland Street", playing multiple characters over several years. Her most recent appearance was as Damo's mother, Naomi, in 2018.
