About Me

Confident, affable, outgoing, enthusiastic, academic, bright and articulate. I can turn my hand to many forms of acting. I am hardworking, work well individually and also in a group. I adore character acting and can immerse myself in any role given. I am great at improvisation and find it comes easily. I learn quickly and enjoy new challenges. I also have super comedic timing as well as acting gravitas. I love nature, live on a fly fishery and help out at my local Animal Welfare. I have an in depth knowledge of natural history and science for my age. I attend weekly drama classes and have taken LAMDA exams for the past 5 years of which all my results have been either a distinction or a merit and have a distinction in my Silver Medal. I attended the prestigious Totally Lit North weekly under Anthony Lewis and Paul David-Gough. I have also just been give a role of resident actor at Lancaster Castle. I would love more experience in acting, either on stage or in front of the camera.
