She brings great energy to any project, has sharp instincts, and approaches every role with thoughtfulness and passion.” — Eddie Diamandi, Director, The Audition (2025) “There is no doubt that Michaela has powerful on-screen charisma that can be quite electric.

She completely embodied the role — I honestly don’t think we could have done it with anyone else.” — Shaun Herbertson, Huddle Productions (2025) AWARDS Stonnington Arts Grant, 2025 NIDA Development Grant, 2017 Kingston Arts New Blood Award, 2014 William P.
