Born and bred in Christchurch, Hiliary started dancing at the young age of four, training in tap and jazz, and competing as both a soloist and in troupes in New Zealand and Australia.

Hiliary made her musical theatre debut in the 2016 production of Hair with North Shore Music Theatre in Auckland. Sister Act was her debut production with Showbiz Christchurch.

When she’s not performing on the stage, Hiliary works as part of the on-air team at The Breeze Canterbury.
