About Me
After graduating from University last summer I am now looking to pursue an acting career. I did a lot of theatre when in school and then concentrated on musical theatre while at University but am keen to get back into straight acting.
I am very enthusiastic and eager to learn, punctual, reliable, very driven and committed. I am interested in any opportunity in tv, theatre or film no matter how big or small, so that I can gain experience and learn from others. I am particularly interested in period dramas.

Experience & Qualifications
General Experience
My main experience lies within theatre and after completing a course at Arts Ed in Acting for Television and Film I am also very interested in TV and film roles to apply new learned skills and techniques and demonstrate my versatility.
As part of my French and Spanish degree I lived abroad in both respective countries. During this period I stopped performing but it was a very valuable time in my life where I matured, gained a lot of life experience and met a wide range of people from differing cultures who all greatly influenced me and I now have many rich memories and experiences to draw from.
I lived in Spain October 2007 - May 2008 teaching English as part of my degree
Au paired in France summer 2007 and 2008 (6 months in total)
