She is the voice of Brenda in The Thongs on the ABC in 2014 and who can forget how she dived to splendour in Celebrity Splash on Channel 7. Denise has just completed appearing in the hugely successful series Please Like Me with Josh Thomas, that has moved onto massive international acclaim. Her down-to-earth manner, natural humour, wit and genuine attitude saw Denise receive two Gold Logies, consecutive Silver Logies and be crowned Queen of Moomba. A large part of her work outside of the television industry comprises corporate, entertainment in-house and trade shows.
