She graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Music majoring in music theatre from the Australian Institute of Music. During her studies, she developed her craft in the core disciplines of singing, dancing and acting. Cerise founded her own film production company, After You Productions, in 2020 with her long-term colleague and friend, Laura Daniella Bucci. Since then, Cerise has taken on roles including screenwriter, producer and co-director. She starred as “Ava” in their first short film, ‘Because of Ava’ which has won several awards including "Best Film" from 13Horror and "Best Short Horror" from Lily Indie Film Fest 2022.
