About Me
I am a committed, passionate, and professional person. It is not only my looks that help in this industry, but I am punctual and work hard... I also like to let my performance do the talking.
In terms of ACTING - I work hard at every acting role I am given. Each performance I give truly comes from my heart. I am a strong and confident actress, who believes in method acting.
I am proud of my vulnerability and emotional ability. My acting experience is varied. I love theatre film and tv equally.
My playing age is approx 15-35yrs ; and I am 25. This has given me a very wide range of roles. This has proven an asset for my employer, and skillswise for me; as an actress who loves to learn whilst working.
I have worked in many technical aspects of multimedia also; including studio camera operation, boom operator, assistant script writer / costume designer to name a few.
For this reason, I not only have 'extra knowledge', but I gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the acting genre (ie, TV / THEATRE) which makes me more useful than just an actress... I'm a part of a creative team.
Regarding music... I fronted symphonic metal band Winter's Eve for over a year, which involved impressive stage shows, complex song writing skills, orchestration and incredible performance ability.
I am currently fronting pop duo Hotbeds. Brain-child of the astonishingly talented and renowned Andy Quirk, I quickly fell in step with the sexy rhythm and brand. I adore performing and writing for this refreshing, lyrically smart, dark 2-some... In just over a year we have made some huge waves.
I have a basic understanding of music from my years playing the violin as a child. I started singing at the age of about 6 onstage, and have not stopped since.
I started to experiment with my voice and to get creative with melody and lyrics from a young age.
I love to write melody, harmony, and lyrics to tracks (co-writing) and this is how I prefer to be creative. I feel at total ease being presented with music of which I must 'write to'. Equally, a gifted songwriter can touch me in different ways, and I start to enjoy the collaboration.
My performance history is again, long and varied; I have been in a soft rock band, classic rock band, and a caribbean soca party rnb band... all under the age of 19.

Employment History & Experience
CSL Productions - Fetish shoot, 2008.
I am curvy and exotic looking.
I have an unusual look. I am particularly interested in fetish (clothed), dark, thought-provoking photography - rather than just creating a pretty photograph.
Any projects that nod to the 80s are more than welcomed! I do my own hair and makeup on shoots (fully qualified).
My striking features coupled with my qualities as a professional performer ensures that I have a solid ethic to work from; I'm healthy, punctual, and take great care of my body - inside and out!
Expect me to turn up on time with a smile on my face.
