Biography

Rebecca was born 'Off Broadway' in New York City, and has been performing ever since. At the age of 10 she performed in her first musical in Dublin, in the lead role of 'Annie'. She went on to perform a wide range of roles on stage, including Anne in 'The Diary of Anne Frank', Sandy in 'Grease', Mayzie in 'Seussical', and Belle in Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast'.

Most of Rebecca's childhood was spent in New Zealand, running barefoot through the supermarket and eating fish & chips at the beach. Once she had finished high school in Auckland, Rebecca then went on to study Acting full time and completed a Bachelors of Performing and Screen Arts Degree. A range of guest star roles in network shows including Power Rangers and Shortland Street followed for Rebecca, and then it was time to move to Los Angeles.

Rebecca had only been in the US a month when she attained her first audition - and a few days later, she had been cast in her first lead role in an American feature: 'Quarries'. She plays the bubbly, inclusive, and incredibly chatty Kiwi girl Brit in this film, and this action-packed, female-driven thriller is not one to miss!

Since then, a fun and diverse range of projects have kept Rebecca on her toes - including her own short films ' Bad Kiwis' and 'Bad Kiwis 2: Kiwi Driver', which she co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in with a fellow New Zealand filmmaker. These films have received great acclaim from film festivals all over the USA, and there are rumors that a third film is in the works!

Rebecca sees herself as a storyteller first and foremost, and hopes to truly move people through the stories she tells. She chooses to be an actress and filmmaker because she believes she can use these skills to create positive change throughout the world - or at the very least, give you a laugh!
