I have been acting since the age of 15 and attended part-time acting classes at the Mona Vale

Film & TV school for 3 years, where I was trained by respected Australian actress Bunney Brooke. 

I performed in a number of plays with the Elanora Players, before taking a break from acting to pursue other career goals.

I returned to acting in 2011 and enrolled in a 1-year screen acting course with the Actor's Hub in Willoughby NSW. Since then, I have worked steadily in short films, commercials, corporate videos, music videos, web series and theatre.

I also enjoy writing & directing. I have my own production company called 'Janjechop Productions' which completed a comedy web series called 'Living Together' & a short film called 'Neighbourhood Watch' that was entered into the Creative Creatures Film Festival. I also film & edit promotional videos for community theatre companies in Sydney.

 

In 2022, I directed a play called "Queen Takes Emperor" written by Rex McGregor, as well as, a black comedy called 'A Body Is Found' written by Chris Naylor, for Bareboards at the Arts Theatre Cronulla in 2023.

 

I was also awarded Best Actress in a Leading Role for my portrayal of Nurse Ratched in 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' for RABTA 2022 (Ruby's Annual Birthday & Theatre Awards) & Best Actress at Crash Test Drama Cronulla 2018 (Heat 2 & Finals) & 2023 (Heat 1).

​

One of my most favourite roles was portraying Stephanie Dickinson in 'Cactus Flower' at the Pavilion Theatre for the Castle Hill Players in 2023. I returned to the Castle Hill Players in 2024 to portray Monica Rice in their April production of the Australian comedy 'Caravan'. ​

​

I was thrilled to portray a sassy dog named Sylvia in 'Sylvia' by A. R. Gurney at the Hunters Hill Theatre in March 2025. A very different role for me which I enjoyed so much! 

​

My most challenging role was portraying Bella Manningham in Patrick Hamilton's 'Gaslight' at the Arts Theatre Cronulla in November 2025. It was my most emotionally demanding role to date & an experience I am truly grateful for & will never forget! You can read the full review of the show HERE.

 

Most recently, I was cast as Mrs. Robinson in 'The Graduate' at the Pavilion Theatre for the Castle Hill Players. It's an iconic role that I'm thrilled I had the opportunity to portray.​ Following this performance, I played Faye Medwick in Neil Simon's 'Chapter Two' at the Hunters Hill Theatre. Neil Simon is one of my favourite playwrights & I would love to direct one of his plays.
