THE PINK BUNGALOW
My name is Tessa, I'm 28 and I hail from Victoria in
Australia. I have been fortunate enough to have been able
to participate in various photoshoot opportunities over the
past five years and be a guinea pig for budding
Photographers who I have met along the way. I also
participated in a runway show in 2015 in my hometown,
Ballarat as part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion
Festival, which focused on innovative designs and
collaborations with local fashion designers and other
creatives. These experiences really ignited my interest in
modelling. I have had a long-term passion for the
Performing Arts, and I am currently a Performing Arts
University student. I sing, dance and act. My background is
in various dance styles, particularly Latin, Ballroom and
New Vogue dancing and I have been awarded two first
places, a third place and been a finalist in various streams
of a DanceSport competition. I have appeared in various
stage shows, inclusive of Pantomimes, Operettas, Musicals,
Plays, etc... in leading, supporting and ensemble roles and
have been a part of casts for short films, the latest being a
short film called, 'Kangarules'. I enjoy singing a range of
music styles, particularly Blues, Jazz, Soul and songs from
Musicals and I have devised and performed in six of my
own one-woman concerts.
One of these concerts raised money for WRISC Family
Violence Support, which support and assist those in
desperate need in such crises, particularly women and
children. I enjoy helping others and have volunteered with
a number of organisations over many years, such as an
RSPCA Animal Shelter, Riding for the Disabled and at a
local Community Radio Station, 'Voice FM' where I
frequently appeared as a Newsreader, among other roles.
I hope to pursue a career in the Performing Arts and
Modelling and continue to assist those in need throughout
my ventures to come.
