KAORI MAEDA-JUDGE

I am a free diver and have my Open Water scuba diving license too. I also have background in singing, dancing and acting. With a diploma in screen acting (Film and Television Institute) and a BFA in Music theatre (Victorian College of the Arts), Kaori has appeared as a series regular on the Australian soap, Neighbours in the role of Jasmine Udagawa. Other screen credits include appearing alongside Nazeem Hussain on his comedy skit show, Orange Is The New Brown and playing Tessa on NBC series, La Brea. On stage, Kaori has the pleasure to sing with people such as accomplished Broadway composer, John Bucchino, as a soloist in a concert of his work and alongside such Australian icons as John Waters, Tim Freedman and Brian Mannix in the cast of PARIS – A Rock Odyssey. In 2019, Kaori was part of the original Australian cast of Lazarus playing the role of Maemi presented by The Production Company. In the return season of White Pearl, Kaori will be playing the role of Ruki.
