Amelia graduated from Pymble Ladies College (PLC) in Sydney in 2005. Prior to that she attended Turramurra Public School but moved to PLC in year 5. At her new school Amelia took an interest in dancing and acting, taking part in school plays & musicals, dance competitions and the Rock Eisteddfod.

Her final work received high scores and Amelia went on to complete a Bachelor of Fashion Design at UTS (University of Technology, Sydney), completed in 2009. After graduation she worked as graphic textile designer and re-toucher for many years, include a 12 month stint at Australian active wear label Running Bare.

Amelia's first big screen role was as lead female 'Laura' in Bad Influence by Andreas Toumbas. She then landed the comedic role of 'Louise' in indie quirky feature 'Friends & Strangers' by James Vaughn. Since 2018, Amelia left the fashion industry and has focused solely on acting, and it is now her full-time profession. She has had success in TVCs and indie productions in Sydney and short films in LA. Amelia has studied the US accent with Linda Nicholls-Gidley, Natasha McNamara and Barbara Hastings, as well as auditioning and performing in several US short films.

There is still lots more great projects to come her way and we look forward to seeing what is next for Amelia.
