She has played characters alongside actors such as Sam Neil (Ice) and Temuera Morrison (This is Piki) and had extensive training since her teens. Taking a break from working life to raise her daughter, who seems now to be following in her footsteps. Astra has recently been signed up to Kathryn Rawlings, is back in Auckland and ready to get back to doing what she loves most.
