By the age of 13 Bree had moved to Sydney to train with the National Gymnastics Squad at the Olympic site in Homebush. She went on to represent Australia at an elite level all around the world. Bree is a talented contortionist, actor, model and dancer. She has even performed at an intimate private event for Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Q1. How did you start? Years ago I was a rhythmic gymnast and I was asked to shoot a Samsung advertisement for Time magazine in the US posing as a gymnast. The photographer suggested I try modelling, so I went in to an agency and the rest is history.
Q2. What was your best job? There have been so many and it's hard to pick between the ones that were a big pay day and the ones that were just great experiences, but working for a week in Fiji with some of my closest friends was such a great trip, we had so much fun in such a beautiful country, it always brings a smile to my face when I think about it.
Q3. What did you buy after you received your first big pay cheque? I can't remember exactly but it would most likely be a designer handbag!
Q4. What was your worst job? Shooting a Korean TV commercial in the middle of winter wearing a bikini and having to film a scene where I ran out of the freezing cold ocean over and over and over again in the howling wind. Then to top it off the surfboard I had under my arm had been spray painted blue for the shoot and by the end of the day half my body was stained blue!
Q5. If you had a rider, what would be on it? Peppermint tea, tuna and avocado salad, C Coconut Water, blueberries and hot chips.
Q6. What was your most embarrassing modeling moment? I was doing a fashion show where we had to dance as part of the show's choreography and I was wearing a pair of high heels a size too big. One of the shoes was about to fly off so I tried to kick it off in to the backstage area but it didn't go so smoothly and it flew up into the air and hit the video screens behind me with a really loud bang!! It was pretty funny and luckily the client thought so too!
Q7. When was the last time you cried with laughter? Almost every day at work. I'm so blessed I get to work with my closest friends all the time.
Q8. What was the first music album you ever bought or received? Mothers Milk by The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Q9. What is your best/worst quality? Best - I'm very loyal. Worst - I kiss my dog on the lips...
Q10. What is the most unusual behind the scenes moment you have experienced to ‘get the shot’? One of my friends flashing me her boobs behind the photographer to get me to laugh for the shot!
Q11. What person dead or alive would you most like to have a cocktail with? What would you ask them? What cocktail would you order? I would have loved to meet my Grandmother on my Mother's side. She died of cancer before I was born. I don't know what I'd ask her, probably about her life experiences and little personal things to get to know her. I'd probably order a margarita.
Q12. Do you have any funny model anecdotes? I was in New Zealand for Fashion Week years ago. Some of us had black vintage lace glued to our faces by the make up artist for one of the shows. It wasn't until after the show, when we tried to remove the lace, that we realised that the makeup artist had used the wrong type of glue and it was really stuck on our skin. We had to kind of tear it off, which was really painful. I was lucky to get away with just a bit of soreness and some red marks but one girl was bleeding after tearing a little bit of her skin.
