Cherie co-produced her first short-film in 2009. Later she became a co-host of HDNet's travel adventure series, "Get Out", winning a competition to find the show's next host. Cherie returned to study in 2011, to complete her Masters in Creative Writing (Swinburne University of Technology). She is pursuing a life-long passion for writing and producing, alongside modeling and acting in TV commercials.
