Screen
My true passion is television. I love watching it, talking about it, and performing/writing for it. When I'm not tearing my way through a series, I'm writing sketches and scripts. Below is some work I've done for TV, sketch comedy, and some web series I've worked on.
Shore It’s Love | Writer, Actor, Producer, Co-Creator | In Development
Waves, cocktails, love – and MURDER. A beachside dating reality show is thrown into chaos when the corpse of a fan-favourite contestant washes up on the shore. To save the flailing production, the meddling producers bring in a Poirot-style detective - Leonardo Teller (badly disguised as a contestant) - to infiltrate the sexy cast and solve the grisly mystery. Shore It’s Love is a hilarious parody of Aussie reality TV spiked with all the juicy murder mysteries we love.

The Slot (2018) | Writer & Actor | Princess Pictures | The Comedy Channel
"An original Foxtel series, The Slot presents emerging and experimental short form comedy from Australia’s most successful online comedy content creators"
My work on The Slot involved writing and voicing 13 short animations (animated by Dale Anderson), as well as writing and acting in 3 live action sketches for series as my character, Cindy Salmon.
House Sketch Night In (2020) | Writer & Actor | The Improv Conspiracy
Vivienna Bizboone's Acting School
I wrote and performed this sketch (filmed and edited by Dale Anderson!) for The Improv Conspiracy's live-streamed House Sketch Night In. The sketch was made during Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, so it was a fun challenge to use all the resources around our apartment to create this utter madness.
'You' Netflix series parody sketch
This parody of the Netflix series You was written by the wonderful Jayden Masciulli and myself. If you haven't watched You yet, it's really very good. This sketch was also made during Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
Feedback (2020) | Writer & Voice-Actor | with Dale Anderson
One man risks it all for his magnum opus, only to make a shocking revelation that maybe this story has been told before. Ugh, Mondays!
Dale Anderson and I teamed up to make this silly sketch. He's extremely talented and hilarious, and you can check out more of his work here!
