  I started off modelling at the age of 16, as something more as confidence, hobby and something I could interlink my acting skills with and broaden my creative spectrum. As I moved more into my adult life, I have since started directing it in a more professional and career driven direction. Over the years, I've done a number of photo shoots with photographers on all levels. Having worked with amateur right through to professional and published photographers. Shoots include hair and beauty, commercial, lingerie, fashion, portrait, lifestyle and body paint. These vary from photographic tests to personal projects, photography workshops and make up workshops.
  
  Other experience includes a small fashion show for The Holiday Boutique and Caramel Rock Academy as well as well as a short collaboration with Pants to Poverty Campaigning their new collection and spreading their voice in 2012.
• 12 years modelling and acting experience which includes, SA work, featured walk on roles, modelling work ranging from hair and beauty, lifestyle, commercial, fitness, family, fashion, business , stock and many more.
