About Me
I have grown up in the Performing Arts industry and have gained a wide variety of experience within dance, music and acting. I have been involved in a lot of acting within Merlin Entertainments from scare acting at fright nights to being a Christmas Elf at LEGOLAND. I am mostly a self taught musician and have been to various dance schools growing up. I also taught children dance for over a year with an external Arts company. I'm very passionate and am open for whatever gets thrown at me, I'm not scared of a challenge.

I do a lot of work with young children in terms of leading activities, teaching or just keeping them entertained, and I feel I bring an enthusiasm to that type of department which has projected onto my acting ability and commitment through all of my experience. This has heavily shown through my improvisational abilities when needing to stay in character or high positive attitude.
