My TV credits include Coronation Street, Hollyoaks, BBC\u2019s The Accused, Celebrity Ghost Stories, and The Crimes That Shook Australia, plus various commercials.<\/p>\n<p>I love making kids laugh, building their confidence, and helping them shine. As a mum of two young boys who also model and perform, I know how powerful it is to overcome nerves and grow through creativity.
