About Me

I am a versatile actress with very good comic timing; with roles ranging from quirky comedy to high status tragedy. I have an enormous amount of focused energy, and bring that naturally to the camera; having motivation, dedication and determination, and always giving my all to projects.

I graduated from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts with an MA degree in Acting this Sept, having worked with many great directors; incl. Charlotte Westenra (Donmar Warehouse, The Old Vic New Voices) and Irina Brown (Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne).
