About Me

After numerous years of being a ‘hands on’ mine host in various quality boutique hotels as General Manager and organising / arranging many events to stimulate a successful business. My natural progression was to move into Marketing and Public Relations, this I achieved by working in various Universities and this allowed me to hone in on my entrepreneurial skills and to use my outward personality and establish a good rapport with fellow colleagues, clients and students.

I was able to take early retirement which allowed me to pursue a University course in Human Psychology. I was asked by a friend whilst on my course, if I had ever thought of acting and appearing on TV and being in films, a thought that had not crossed my mind. So over nine years ago I was fortunate to be taken on by an agent and put forward for various ‘walk on’ and ‘bit parts’. My only regret was not doing this craft many years earlier. I have to date, always proved reliable, prompt and finding locations, able to take direction and being able to be receptive to the script requirements. I have been going to numerous theatre workshops in order to enhance my credentials and to be accepted as a genuine and bona fide thespian.
