Lisa is a seasoned performer whose career spans theatre, television, voice work, and screenwriting. She has performed extensively across Aotearoa and internationally, with credits that reflect her dynamic range and deep comedic and dramatic sensibilities.

Her television work includes roles in Shortland Street, Power Rangers, and Xena: Warrior Princess, while her stage credits include national tours and award-nominated solo shows, such as Mockingbird—a powerful exploration of intergenerational trauma that has toured in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA to critical acclaim.

With a background in devised theatre and a strong foundation in both classic and contemporary performance, Lisa continues to bring integrity, insight, and heart to every role she undertakes.
