As the survivor of an accident in 1998 my dream is to release music to raise money for the Starlight foundation and Make-a-Wish foundation to help children and their families. l was hit by a cyclist and suffered a brain haemorrhage and brain injury and placed on life support. l lost the hearing in my right ear,was paralysed including lost the ability to speak and eat,couldnt walk,etc. It was terrifying waking up a completely different person. l could not get any compensation and went from being an active working social person to living on a disability pension. Recovery was hell but l survived and want to help others. It took me 7 years to be able to sing again and l want to share my gift.

    l am currently a curvy size 12
    Plus size modeling work is something l would love to do. l could also do parts modeling using my face, hair, hands and feet. l have a curvy hourglass figure. Believe it or not men are very drawn to me and woman look at me as well. l have had more compliments at this size than in my whole entire life!

    Acting experience

        l am 5'5.5" tall, size 10-12, long dark hair, blue eyes, and Debbie Harry/Helena Christensen/Sophia Loren looks. l narrated 2 dance concerts, am an elegant dancer, have a classy walk, have a very expressionable face, can talk with different accents, can portray many moods, love acting, dancing,singing and have sung professionally. People tend to like watching me.

    Television experience

        Any acting interests me, especialy really gutsy,dramatic, intense roles. Something l can sink my teeth into.

    Music experience

        l am told that l am good singer with a voice that l can alter to suit the song and whom ever l am singing with. l harmonize well and am a percussionist. l am also told l have excellent rythm.
    l can sing very feminine or rock chic style, etc. Blues/Jazz and Rock is my favourite.

    Dancing experience

        l love dancing and am very fluent when l move. People seem to like watching me. l can dance graceful and feminine or downright dirty! My dance teacher used to be with the Australian Ballet Co. Dancing is one of the things that comes naturaly to me like Rita Hayworth and Cyd Charisse.

    Photographing experience

        Freelance photography is my passion. l like to photograph anything and have studied photography and journalism. A teacher once told me he had never seen a Garden Tap photographed to appear with such intriguing character as the one l did. Capturing natural candid moments is my forte and l especially love photographing kids and animals.

    Magazine experience

        From Dec 05 to March 07 l worked for a local newspaper as an advertising consultant. My work also involved proof reading and editing. Writing is something l very much enjoy. When the time is right l am going to write a self help book for trauma victims using my own personal recovery experience from an accident. l am open to any magazine and newspaper roles. l appeared in Thats Life magazine in Aug 07. It was a two part article about finding love. An article l wrote will appear in Thats Life magazine 21.11.07 about Is The Internet Safe For Children or Not. My Story will also be appearing in Thats Life soon.
