About Me

Having taught English as a second language around the world, having been taken in by families across the world for fun and by being extremely friendly and outgoing, I have the perfect ability to settle into any role. I have been performing since the age of 6 on stage having done amateur theatre progressing to being involved in professional panto. I have done film work as an extra, most notably in the upcoming film 'The Outlaw King' and do stand up comedy around local venues.
The key thing to any role is my experience teaching as it's one big performance. I like working with people and am also a tour guide telling stories for my own business. I love people and enjoy laughing with others with my kind, open and compassionate sense of humour and sense of humanity.
