VPNG hope all our members and nurses everywhere have had a fantastic International Nurses Day 2023.
VPNG takes great pleasure in introducing our Saturday 19th August plenary speaker, Zule!
Born and bred in Western Sydney, Zule has studied Performance for TV at NIDA, & Musical Theatre at the Victorian College of the Arts. She also holds a Health & Science degree as a Division 1 Registered Nurse.
Long story short, Zule is a wearer of many hats.
Zule (pronounced like Julie with a Z) is one of Australia's most unassumingly versatile artists. Having been on Australia's TV screens in multiple award winning TV series & commercials, they create original content winning multiple awards for their stage shows and has won Screenwriters Australia's SFAG ROAR TV script competition,
You might recognise Zule as the face of Coles Car Insurance, appearing on Offspring, Please Like Me, Murder Calls, Seven Types of Ambiguity, Fancy Boys, the InBesitgators, Our Watch, Australian Super and The Wrong Girl.
“I have always had an obsession with cartoons & comedy. There is nothing more therapeutic to a tortured soul than a good old belly laugh! From a very young age, I have been around the sick, the infectious, the dying, the anxious and the depressed. The one thing I could give them all was a smile and sometimes a laugh - that comes for free with no bad side effects. Suddenly, I managed to get them to forget about pain, even if it was only for a second. I decided to be a ham and heal with laughter for the rest of my life.”
