In her pursuit of excellence, Tishanie worked to develop her performance skills to find success in her HSC performance exams. It was Tishanie’s desire to give a voice to the voiceless that led her to stories that explore the more challenging aspects of humanity. It was there that she could present both the strength and vulnerability of a character in a nuanced performance.

We look forward to see what the future holds for you. ​Congratulations Tishanie
