Notes

I taught modelling and acting through my Talent of the Future school. We were contacted often by a few university production companies to play different roles in some of their productions. It was excellent experience for the students who went on to do courses with Damien Rossi through Rossi casting agency quite a few years back. I have some great success stories with some of my past students who have gone on to do paid production work and paid modelling work overseas. I have been a nurse, disability support worker, mental health worker and childcare worker for many years. I started teaching modelling and acting when 2 of my 5 children continued to win modelling competitions. Mothers were asking me if I could teach their children what I was teaching my own and that is how "Talent of the Future" got started. I loved to choreograph big events and went on to be asked to choreograph the local designer awards in Beaudesert and also Multicap baby shows and model searches and to choreograph and run a big Variety Club event at the Tivoli in Brisbane with 104 models which were divided into 4 age groups. I have had a few on the side businesses to keep myself and tribe going when they were all younger. I now have 11 grandchildren with a few of them already being involved in the acting area of the industry. My 8 year old granddaughter did theatre film work with me on Occupation 1 and we were both asked back to do paid extra work on Occupation 2 At present I am an entrepenuer with a product that has just been awarded a "product of the year" title. I continue to grow my online business though also like to get involved in the acting areas of the Modelling and acting industry. I have clearance forms completed from tattooist
