About me
I studied on the full-time professional course at The Neighborhood Playhouse, New York, the school that Sanford Meisner developed his legendary exercises. During my 2 years living in New York I also took classes at The Stella Adler Acting Studio and classes in theatrical clowning at the Barrow Group Theater School.Before studying acting I performed standup comedy in Glasgow and Edinburgh as well as occasionally in London, Dublin and Newcastle. I have performed at The Stand Comedy Club and Glasgow’s State Bar and Bar 10. I have attended a week’s comedy course at BBC Scotland and have been noted by The Funny Women Comedy Team and The BBC as “one to watch”.
I also performed character roles at The Edinburgh Dungeon.
I regularly do role-play work for Edinburgh University Medical School, Glasgow University Medical School and The Royal College of Surgeons where I assist in communication classes, lectures and exams. I also work with the psychology and psychiatry departments and have been in training videos. Recently I worked with the Emergency Department of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in different outpatient roles that covered a range of psychiatric and clinical scenarios.
Since returning from New York I have moved to London and would like to work on stage or film. My training was built on a foundation of stage work where we worked on a broad range of scenes from American and British Modern Drama as well as Shakespeare. We also trained intensively for film work.
