A New Career?

This week was a very exciting one. I landed a small part in a new movie being shot in Sydney starring the Australian cricket legend and all round nice guy, Brett Lee. I played the receptionist working at Cochlear - my implants on show in all their glory.

How on earth did this come about you ask? Well,a few scenes were shot on location at the Cochlear headquarters in Sydney. I've been a fan of Brett Lee's for years so when Cochlear asked if there were any cochlear people that wanted to be in the movie I couldn't put my hand up quick enough!!!

So 24 hours later I found myself in hair and make-up, on set, in Sydney and talking to a real life movie director (he was lovely by the way, Anupam Sharma).

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!

The movie, titled unIndian comes out around March 2015 and if my scenes aren't cut I'll be the most excited person alive.

A little movie for Cochlear

Cochlear Limited asked me for a quick video to show the Cochlear shareholders at the 2014 AGM in Sydney, Australia. This is what I sent them:

Conversations

I asked my son today to turn the sound down on his gaming console. His reply? "Can't you just turn your ears off instead?". Well ……………… I suppose I could ……………….

Cochlear Annual Report 2014

The Cochlear Annual Report for 2014 has been published and guess who is in it? You'll never guess. I'll give you a clue ……………… someone with a cohlear implant ………………… too hard? It's me!

They didn't photoshop my wrinkles out but Woman's Weekly would describe that as being "natural and embracing my age". Here is the link to my wrinkles: http://www.cochlear.com

WA Training Awards 2014

I didn't bring home a win from the WA Training Awards on Thursday night (I'll have to be happy with top four in the state) but it did give me a good excuse to dress up :)

Nice little certificate to prove I was there.
