Pippa’s early years and family life:

Pippa has 2 brothers, one of whom is called Tom. Pippa lived with her family in Pakenham, Victoria, and also in the Narre Warren area of Victoria (now part of the city of Casey) until she landed her acting role as Lucinda ‘Elle’ Robinson in Australian Soap Neighbours in August 2005.

Pippa attended St Patrick’s Catholic Primary school, Pakenham, Victoria, for her primary school education before attending Beaconhills Christian College, Pakenham, Victoria, for her high school education where Pippa was a school vice captain. After finishing her high school education in 1999, aged 16, Pippa commenced further studies in Animal Technology with a view to pursuing a career working with animals. However Pippa also had ambitions to become an actress.

Pippa’s adult life and career:

When Pippa reached her late teens, she ended her education and studies in order to pursue her acting ambitions full time. When Pippa reached her early 20′s Pippa secured a number of smaller acting roles appearing in Evil Never Dies in 2003, when aged 21.

Pippa remained in this role for 4 years until leaving Neighbours in August 2009, aged 26, when Pippa decided to seek new acting roles and further her career rather than extending her contract with Neighbours. Pippa’s Neighbours exit has seen Elle Robinson move to New York to work as a journalist and the characters role has been left open should Pippa wish to seek a return to the show in the future.
