I never saw myself as a professional actor on a set with props, costumes, scripts, and a director. I’m still holding out hope that the dream will end. What would be my dream role, a question that both fans and the media frequently ask me? That would be like asking me to pick between wine, cheese, and chocolate.
When I was younger, I aspired to be Destiny’s Child’s Michelle because, despite my best fantasies, I could never be Beyoncé. I used to adore watching WWE Smackdown on Saturdays, so I made up the character Thunder from Down Under, who entered the stadium while performing a crocodile wrestling move while wearing an akubra and dancing to an ACDC song. My father instantly dispelled my fantasy by saying that my character had a fart-like voice. However, throughout my actual nursing career, the only job I truly imagined myself playing was a nurse working at a hospital.
It was a dream come true for young Thunder to have the honour of portraying Ziggy for such a long time. It’s almost inconceivable how much possibility there is in playing many characters.

Women’s kick-butt videos have always been my favourite! I want to be a part of the idea that women are strong and powerful regardless of their appearance, as seen in Wonder Woman, Xena, Lara Croft, G.I. Jane, and Million Dollar Baby. I enjoy seeing genuine ladies portrayed on screen. flaws, imperfections, and innate perfection. The more authentic human condition stories there are, the more empathy there will be in the world. I adore love stories as well. My fave types of movies to watch are romantic comedies. I frequently watch Julie and Julia, It’s Complicated, Something’s Got to Give, Hitch, and Bridget Jones; to be able to tell a tale like that would be a dream come true.
I adore tales that uplift the spirit, inspire hope, and lessen loneliness in the hearts of those who read them. I hope the projects I’m working on accomplish those goals (and maybe even let me shoot a gun, if by some stroke of luck and miracle I get to work again!)
