YASMIN Kassim has tried pretty much everything in entertainment — from pageants to kids parties and everything in between.
And it’s paid off with the 25-year-old landing a guest spot on popular soap Neighbours.
“I spent a couple of months filming in Melbourne,” she said. “I play Shae, a really cool character. She moves to Erinsborough to work at Lassiters and manages to get herself caught up in a lot of drama in both her personal and work life. She’s got a few secrets that will be revealed in due time.”
Striking... Yasmin Kassim
Kassim has a bachelor of arts degree majoring in English literature from the University of Western Australia and came runner up to Erin Holland in the Miss World Australia in 2013.
“It is probably something I wouldn’t do again,” she said of her pageantry. “I’m really proud that I did it and I was very surprised and excited at my placing but I think acting and music is more my scene.”
She started performing at the age of six and has appeared in feature film Love Is Now alongside Anna Torv and Claire van der Boom, as well as Wayne Blair’s short film, Lie, with Daniel Macpherson.
