Notes
Serena is a versatile actor whose first professional gig was onstage as “Thomasina” in Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia while completing a BA in Theatre Studies at the University of Otago. Her screen debut came in her second year of a performing arts degree at Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School as one of the leads in the critically acclaimed drama series The Insiders Guide to Love. Onscreen she has appeared in local drama (The Gulf, Ablaze, The Brokenwood Mysteries), comedy (The Pretender, StepDave) and played a recurring troublemaker in NZ’s long running soap opera Shortland St. Serena also regularly works in theatre, most recently seen in sweeping family drama “Appropriate” at The Court Theatre, in The Bullet Heart Club’s play with songs “The Hall,” multi character physical comedy “Timber…!!!” and touring repertory Shakespeare with Pop Up Globe around NZ and to Sydney. Serena also works in casting.
