About Me
I love the thrill of performing and acting. There's nothing quite like it, and I'm pretty good at it. I've been on stage many times over the years with amateur theatre groups and have now started to broaden my acting experiences from stage to film.

Employment History & Experience
I studied Film & Drama at university so I acted in various plays and films for other students. I performed in a play called 'Who Will Carry The Word' about prisoners in Auschwitz which we then took to the Edinburgh Drama festival and performed there for 2 weeks. Since university I have been heavily involved in Amateur Dramatics, playing a variety of roles (my most recent character was Ruth Ellis in ' The Thrill of Love' based on the story of the last woman to be hanged in Britain). I have performed in many plans, some involving dancing and singing, and last year I directed my first performances with a local amateur group. More recently I have taken on several acting roles in corporate, student and feature films, and I am keen to do a great deal more.
