About me
Based near Edinburgh and originally from there, I have played diverse roles; everything from male comedic duos, to the Mum of the family. I can turn my hand to almost anything. A Soprano, and a hip hop freestyler, I am also a dab hand at accents (American, Russian, English) and character acting, particularly comedy roles. I enjoy making up my own characters.My biggest roles to date are No Escape which was my first feature film, whilst living in Thailand, and then I went on to do commercials for people such as San Miguel and Trivago.

Highlights
-
Tv and presenter experience in Bangkok on an educational programme for Thai children learning English
-
Freestyle hip hop dancer most of my life. I was early influenced by the hip hop scene of the noughties.
I have studied many forms of dance, including ballet, but my skill lies in freestyle hip hop. -
Par by the course in Bangkok, I had to do a lot of photoshoots and of course, photos, as part of my portfolio. So I got to know a little bit of the industry there.
-
My acting experience dates back to 1996 as a child in stage, and local musicals. I was accepted into The Lyceum Youth Theatre, Edinburgh; a prominent theatre in Edinburgh and at a similar time, completed L.A.M.D.A acting examinations. Prior to this I was noticed for children's TV shows, such as Diggity in the UK.
I continued to be a part of various local productions, including productions whilst living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which led me to auditions for No Escape (2015) where I landed my first speaking role.
I then moved to Bangkok where I did various commercials for people such as San Miguel and Trivago, as well as TV, presenter and film.
I have had interest from a top acting agent in the UK, Stiven Christie, and have completed further training since then.
