About Me

I am a versatile, committed performer able to take on any role type with confidence and conviction. I'm experienced in both stage and film, and my professional attitude is robust. I work efficiently with others as well as on my own. I have had quite a lot of on-screen experience I respond promptly to direction but also work well intuitively. I'm physically fit, have high energy and am prepared to work long days.
