About Me

Some words that describe my Personality would be charismatic, charming, ambitious and cheeky, with a serious side. My acting skills range across a full spectrum of personas and I love to diversify as much as possible. Having studied drama from an early age and often told I had rare acting/performing talent. I was recommended in pursuing a career in drama arts but was unable to due to unforeseen circumstances. However, I recently decided to rekindle my passion, and have already been fortunate to land great roles, which have seen me secure future leading/supporting roles for feature and short films during the forth coming year. Despite my late start my CV is starting to include some noticeable work and I am hoping that others will see my potential and look to cast me for future challenging and exciting projects. In addition, I have also worked behind the camera, writing and directing which helps me extend my knowledge and appreciate the hard work it takes to produce films etc.
