The first five years of Zarah’s life were spent in Southern Africa where she delivered her most dramatic and passionate performances to family, friends and any unfortunate audience within earshot. Whether she was raising 7 imaginary children in the mountains of Austria or breaking out into ABBA with 3 potential fathers, preferably Colin Firth. Zarah knew she was an actor.

At the age of five, Zarah traded the sweeping landscapes of Southern Africa for Sydney Australia. Here she was accepted into Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, where she developed a deeper love for the arts and all the people that came with it.

She then earned a place at NIDA where she continues to do what she loves, bringing stories to life, committing wholeheartedly to the stage and screen, and proving that the little girl belting ABBA in South Africa was never going to settle for anything less than a life in acting.
