About Me

Having experience of singing in front of live audiences has given me a real sense of my performance ability and potential. It's something I really enjoy and I've had plenty of praise for my good voice. I now want to start an acting career and hope to get experience through 'extra' roles and other suitable work.

Experience & Qualifications

General Experience

I've worked for many years in public service, mainly IT, followed by retraining and working in wildlife conservation. My main aim from all my experience was ideally to become a wildlife presenter. I undertook some volunteering experience with the BBC, back in 2007, working as a researcher for the Oceans series, and which gave me some useful startup experience in television output. In my work for the RSPB I've given presentations to groups about the work I do for a reintroduction project.
In recent times I've been involved in a local band with 2 other people, one a guitarist and one a violinist, amd myself as lead singer.

Qualifications & Training

I have a BA in ceramic design, a BSc in Animal Management, and a Masters in Conservation and Biodiversity.

Other Information

Relevant Skills

I'm an articulate writer and speaker. I write a regular monthly feature for my local community website on the wildlife and nature in the region. I publish a lot of my own photographic output through this medium. Through my work with the RSPB I've had opportunities to present wildlife information to interested audiences, reaching out to them concerning wildlife issues. I'm confident in front of audiences and also in front of cameras. I'm undaunted by social hierarchies and get on well across a whole gamut of people.
I'm good with techie stuff as well as being artistically creative, which makes for a really practical and resourceful problem solver. With qualifications in science, computing AND art, I'm pretty broad in my skillset and well set up to add still more to my abilities. I love learning!

Interests & Hobbies

Bird watching, Singing, Horticulture, Diving, National Trust volunteering.
