Natalie Saleeba (born 27 June 1978, Perth) is an Australian actress best known for her role as Jessica Singleton in the Australian television series All Saints.
Saleeba trained as a gymnast, though she retired from the sport as a 14-year-old in 1992 after a ten-year career[1]. She then trained as an actress, touring with the Bell Shakespeare Company and guest appearances on Always Greener, Stingers and The Secret Life Of Us.
She played the regular role of Nurse Jessica Singelton on All Saints from 2004 to 2006, stating in a Sydney Morning Herald interview that the workload of acting in a regular series was "a daily grind". Upon leaving All Saints, Saleeba initially intended to restrict herself to working in Australian film and theatre.
Despite these comments, Saleeba landed a contract role on soap opera Neighbours, playing Rosetta Cammeniti, the sister of Carmella. She made her on-screen debut on October 12, 2006.
Saleeba has recently quit Neighbours after a year and a half, filming her final scenes in December 2007.
