I grew up in Innisfail in Far North Queensland on my grandparents Sugar Cane Farm. For 17 years I lived in the same house, with my wonderful family.
I was an extremely active kid. I began dancing at age 3 & haven’t stopped. I was also an avid runner & played my fair share of Netball. Sport was a big part of my youth and it still is !!
From the far north, my best friend & myself ventured down to Melbourne! It was here that my eyes were opened to the big exciting world of entertainment! I moved to Melbourne to pursue my dancing & fortunately had a very successful career as a professional dancer. I was based in Melbourne for nearly 6 years, whilst traveling Australia & nearly all of Asia performing for Walt Disney Special Events Group.
I took part in some major events including the Opening Ceremony for the Special Olympics in Japan & The Ground Breaking Ceremony for Hong Kong Disneyland. (Jackie Chan was in the audience!!!) Between Disney contracts, I taught at local dance schools as a guest teacher & performed on many television shows.
After my stint in Melbourne, I moved to Japan for 14 months where I worked at Tokyo Disney Sea. I believe it was here where I really grew as a person. I worked with amazing people from all over the world & I feel extremely privileged to have done so.
From Japan I then traveled over to Hong Kong where I was fortunate to be a part of a show promoting the NEW Hong Kong Disney Land. We traveled around parts of China, Singapore & Thailand. I also had the honor of working in the Parks Costume Warehouse!! I will never forget my Disney Days.. EVER!
In 2005 I moved back up north (Qld) to Cairns where I performed in a cabaret show at the Reef Casino. I stayed in Cairns for 2 contracts (14 months) & then moved with my ever so gorgeous partner to the Gold Coast in 2006. It was on the Gold Coast where my real passion for fitness evolved. I learnt that I wanted to help people & teach them about fitness & the importance of being healthy..
I ‘migrated’ to Penrith in November 2008 to begin my new career & take on a new chapter of my life with my partner Gavin..
