Although Sister Act is her first production with Showbiz Christchurch, Josie has been heavily involved in the music scene throughout her school years. Her love for the arts began at the age of ten, when she was selected to be part of a representative choral group at the Christchurch Schools' Music Festival.  

Since then she has focused on developing her skills as a solo-singer, and has been cast in several Middleton Grange school productions including: Annie, Fiddler on the Roof and The Wind in the Willows.

Josie combines her love of musical theatre with full time study towards a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Canterbury.
