About Me
I'm currently working as a PA but have always had an interest in acting so I decided to take on some work as an extra last year to see if it worked out. I would now like to pursue this further in the future and will be undertaking some formal acting training in the very near future.
I trained extensively as a figure skater in my youth but had to change career due to a back injury. I've since worked in retail, sales, promotions & health clubs (all managerial positions) and am currently working in an office environment - which is great, but doesn't satisfy my desire to 'perform' as such - hence diversifying somewhat last year with the extra work.
I'm really keen to undertake as many courses as I can to increase whatever skills I currently possess, and to learn more skills that would enable me to apply for more roles!

Other Information
Relevant Skills
I can figure skate, I can take direction and carry out dance moves (nothing too acrobatic (!)
Interests & Hobbies
I like to spend my free time doing creative things - making jewellery, baking novelty/other cakes, cooking, DIY etc - anything that has a process and an end result!
Miscellaneous Information
I currently work full time as a Personal Assistant, but I spent my childhood/teens training as a Figure Skater, and whilst I can't skate to the standard I used to be able to (back injury)
I can still hold my own to a degree. I've always harbored a desire to act but I preferred to have a regular income, so I recently started undertaking some extra/other work to stretch myself and get out of the office - and my backside!
I do possess the attributes that would make me a decent choice for specific roles - I have a great work ethic honed through many years of employment & management roles, I take direction well, I'm open to try pretty much anything, I don't complain - turn up, put up and shut up in a nutshell! Hopefully those qualities will help me get some more work in the future.....
