Tharina Bouwer

Born in South Africa, Tharina, 21, left her homeland in search of a better life, looking for chances to fulfil her lifelong dream of being an actress. She has been able to practise her craft at the South Seas Film and Television School, and worked with like-minded individuals who share in the same dream. Tharina has taken part in many theatre productions such as this one, and she hopes New Zealand will be a stepping stone to many more opportunities far afield.
