Biography

Madeleine's journey in the performing arts began at a tender age, as she would often take center stage in front of family and friends, showcasing her innate talent for acting. This natural flair earned her a spot in the NSW Talented Child Drama Ensemble in 1992, marking the starting point of her professional development.

Over the years, Madeleine refined her craft through extensive studies at esteemed institutions such as Swinburne University, Tamworth Conservatorium of Music, and Riverina Drama Ensemble. She also complemented her training with short courses at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) and various ensembles in Victoria and interstate, focusing on voice, movement, drama, and musical theatre.

In recognition of her outstanding performance skills, Madeleine was awarded the prestigious 'Be Your Best' Performance Scholarship from the Australian Drug Foundation in 1999. This achievement served as a testament to her dedication and passion for the arts.

While Neighbours marks her first full-time television role, Madeleine's impressive amateur theatre credits include Arsenic and Old Lace, Night Reflections, Theatre in the Raw, After Midnight Before Dawn, Bye Bye Birdie, Not the Wiser, and Snow Queen, among several others. As a trained singer and dancer, Madeleine is eager to continue honing her craft on Australia's longest-running television series, Neighbours.
