About me
Having left a full time job in Events and Weddings, I am determined and focused to build a career as an actor. I wish to explore creatively, and undertake as many projects as possible to better myself as a performer.I am a member of the National Youth Theatre, and took part in the National Theatre's Watch This Space festival, the year I started in 2011. Since then I have performed in a variety of amateur productions, and worked behind the camera as a production assistant on short films. This was made possible after I completed work experience with Clerkenwell Films, on BAFTA winning TV show, Misfits.
In 2015, I graduated from the University of Kent with a degree in English and American Literature and Drama with a Term Abroad. I studied at the University of South Carolina, USA, where I was cast in the University's competitive theatre season, not only challenging myself as a performer, but as a person, while I adapted quickly to diverse environments and directing methods.

Highlights
-
The majority of my acting experience has been on stage, but I am interested to break into television and film acting work.
As a pupil at school, I always put myself up for principle roles and performed in a variety of stage productions. I attended the Actors Studio, Pinewood drama classes from the age of 13, gaining confidence in improvisation and devising. From there I went on to audition and gain membership into the National Youth Theatre, taking part in a two week intensive drama training, and performed at the National Theatre's Watch This Space festival in 2011. I went on to study drama as a join honors degree at the University of Kent, where I took modules in period drama, site-specific performance and stand-up comedy, as well as securing a singing solo in the Musical Theatre Society's summer showcase in my first year. In my final year, I performed my first stand-up comedy gig at the Monkeyshine Comedy Club in Canterbury.
During my term abroad in America, I studied advance acting and screen acting, and was cast by way of audition as a principle character in Good Boys and True by Roberto Aguirre - Sacasa, as part of the University's competitive theatre season. On my return to the UK, I joined the St Michael's Players where I performed in their production of Treasure Island and landed the leading role in the pantomime Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
Aside from my performances on stage, I have been an extra in a variety of different television shows and films and was a member of Anne Koska's Acting Agency when I was 10 years old.
