OTHER INFORMATION
I hold a Full UK Drivers License and have my own transport. I spent 9 months working and travelling independently through New Zealand during 2006 and again for 3 months in 2007, I also explored Fiji and Malaysia during this time learning about the diverse cultures. I am passionate about working with people with different backgrounds, experiences and all age groups. I also have theatre makeup, hair and wig dressing skills which I have found essential when dressing small scale productions or working with a limited budget.
