About Me
I have many years of performing experience as singer/songwriter - writing, recording and performing my own material. In recent years I've been making the transition, training via a number of intensive courses, and the last year I have gained acting experienced in several short films, and other productions.
I am now pursuing acting (as well as music) full-time, but have extensive experience in full-time employment as a press/media officer, and prior to that have done many jobs from waiter to tutor.
