About Me

I am 22 years of age and the youngest of six children. I come from a loving family and we were all brought up musically. Music lives in the extended family as well. I am creative and I have a curious character. I enjoy performance and communicating with people from different backgrounds. I love to socialise, but always with variety. Going to plays, classes and dinners is such a good way to make friends and be involved.

I love to listen to Jeff Buckley, Kate Bush, Fleet Foxes, Nick Cave, Anthony and the Johnsons, Led Zeppelin and any classic soul music.

I read a lot: John Grisham, Sebastian Faulks and Charles Dickens are among my favourites.

My modelling experience was in conjunction with my musical experience as part of a folk band. I sing and play guitar in a band with three of my sisters known as 'The Roads' and we perform on a regular basis at venues in London. We have recorded an album and we intend to continue writing and be part of the music world. We have had experience on a few photo shoots and I am comfortable in front of the camera.

Experience & Qualifications


General Experience

Grade 8 violin with distinction
Grade 8 piano with distinction
I sang in a choir from the age of 8 and trained classically before embarking on folk music and composing.

I received AAB in English Literature, Music and Spanish A Levels respectively.

I completed one year of my degree in English and Spanish at the University of Manchester, which I then deferred to focus on a music career.

I am now 22 and I will be attending Birkbeck Evening College in London from October 2011 to study English Literature.



Qualifications & Training

I recently completed work as a receptionist at Monsoon Accessorize Head Office. I dealt with a busy switchboard, greeted clients, booked couriers and taxis, handled post and worked as part of a team.

I have experience as a junior researcher at GB Hooper and Son, a genealogy firm based in Clerkenwell. I accessed databases and handled valuable information in order to track down heirs to unclaimed estates. This was a fast-paced job and I gained a valuable insight into the company's infrastructure.

I have had more than a year's experience in hospitality and was lucky enough to work at Ella's Bakehouse, Covent Garden owned by Lorraine Pascale, ex-model-turned-TV chef.

I spent 3 months in Argentina working as an English teacher in 2 schools. This was an unforgettable experience, as I stayed in a country rich with history and full of fascinating people. I became very independent and determined to achieve success.

I worked as a part-time resident pianist at Kipling's Restaurant in Highgate during my gap year. I played for 4 hours on a regular basis and my confidence and stamina greatly improved as a result.


Other Information

Relevant Skills

I have been told before that I could do hair modelling. I keep it in good condition and rarely use heat appliances that would cause damage to it.

My skills as a musician could be valuable for Casting Now. I love to sing and I have a clear and eloquent speaking manner.

Interests & Hobbies

Travelling, music, running, dancing, yoga, reading, theatre, cooking, baking, fashion, music, festivals, writing, composing.

Miscellaneous Information

I live in North London with my family and I am willing to work anywhere within London. However, if there is a job offer outside of London, I would consider committing to it.
