About me
I am a healthy, fit and funny lady who simply loves to act! Living in Derbyshire and knowing that it is not exactly the hub of the film/tv industry, I'm very willing to travel.I am able to take direction and still love to learn from my peers. Being eloquent, with a variety of accents I have been able to perform well in many different and challenging acting roles.

Highlights
-
In 2012 I spent 3 days in Devon on a murder reconstruction for Flame TV. Last Autumn they asked me back to do a similar shoot as the wife of the murdered organist in Sheffield. Both films being shown on Sky. I have appeared in a comedy sketch with Will Best for Channel 4 and also been an extra on Doctors.
Since 2013, I have been involved in many university student films in Derby, Staffs and York.
I have worked on TV advertising for Barclaycard and Hyundai and my most recent appearance was aired earlier this year when I played HM Queen Mother in Channel 5's "Inside Windsor Castle." -
I have been a successful actress for over 20 years, winning an Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actress in "No Sex Please, We're British".
My comedic timing has been applauded by the press, as has my ability to characterise deeper and more sensitive roles in such productions as Steel Magnolias and Kinder-transport.
I have played Titania in Midsummer Night's Dream, been involved in role playing, panto and many Murder Mysteries.
I have my own home/mobile audio recording equipment and have recorded a script for an Australian radio drama - Dr Who in Yorkshire! This called for an authentic accent for which the Australian director has sent me a commendation.
