About me

I have always been most inspired, excited and creatively charged when I am acting or creating. From a young age, I have adored being able to portray fantastical stories and characters as well as getting to devise such things myself and explore my own imagination and perception. Being the youngest of three siblings, it was not uncommon to find me alone in my room writing stories, creating worlds I could lose myself in for hours and playing the parts of many weird and wonderful characters.

As soon as I was able to study Drama as a subject at school, I took to it like a duck to water, frolicking excitedly and feeling completely at ease in my surroundings, understanding that this the profession I would be most happy and feel the most myself in. I took part in every school and college play I could, landed various ensemble roles to main roles in both musical thetare productions such as Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim and plays such as Shakers by John Godber.

After finishing college, it made perfect sense to go to university and further develop my skills, learning as much as I possibly could, not solely in acting but in devising, camera work, editing, singing, movement, being a Production Manager and discovering what it means to be a professional creator in every sense of the word.

I began my BA Hons in Performing Arts (Film, TV and Stage) at Buckinghamshire New University in 2016. Through my time at university, I have discovered a passion for editing, script writing and collaborating with people from all walks of life and varying skill levels to create pieces I am truly proud of. I was able to experiment with different forms of performance, from movement practices to Intermedia practices; practices I would not have discovered I loved so deeply had I not gone into further training.
Additional skills:
I am trained to use the Sony PXW-X180, Sony PXW-FS5 and Sony PXW-FS7 cameras
I am confident when using editing software Final Cut Pro 10, with an understanding of Adobe Premiere.
I have experience as a Production Manager, Actor, in Devising, Co-Directing and Film Editing.
I am an enthusiastic, very punctual and reliable person with a dedication to consistently meeting deadlines.
