Education

About me

I am a passionate, professional and extremely hard working actor with a base in London and Leeds.

From the age of 6, I have always loved acting and knew I wanted to pursue it as a full time career. I spent 12 years training at Stage 84, The Yorkshire School of Performing Arts, taking classes in Speech and Drama, Drama Workshop, Singing, Dancing and Performing Arts. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, and that helped shape the person I am today. During that time, I worked on a number of commercials, toured professionally twice with 'The King and I' and performed in Hamm, Germany, just to name a few things. At the age of 18, I then went onto teach my own Drama Workshop class to students from the age of 6-17 at Stage 84.

I trained at UCLan, and in 2017 I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Acting BA (Hons). I have since gone onto work on a number of exciting projects both nationally and internationally.

An area of expertise in which I specialise in is Motion Capture and Performance Capture, working with some of the best companies in the world. Most recently, I worked on the Unreal Engine PS5 Release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC5KtatMcUw
We filmed this in LA, and it was a great experience having the chance to provide the full performance capture (the body movements, face movements and voice) for the main character. It is a privilege to be a part of working with such ground-breaking innovative technology. In 2018, I also had the pleasure of working on a collaborative project with Epic Games, creating their first digital double human, alongside Andy Serkis. We performed live in real time at gaming conference: GDC in San Francisco and in Germany at: FMX.

My most notable television appearance was in Hollyoaks as 'Sadie Cressington' in 2019, arriving into the village of Chester bringing drama and a new baby (!) - the grandchild of Tony Hutchinson. Appearing in 12 episodes, I had a fantastic time working alongside such a brilliant cast and crew.

Since then, I have gone onto work on numerous projects including CBBC's '4 O'Clock Club', new BBC comedy web series 'Mommune' and tech projects with Epic Games (creators of video game: Fortnite).

I am constantly looking to improve as an actor, and therefore continually trying to gain new skills. I am currently doing a diploma in BSL (British Sign Language).

I look forward to seeing what the future holds!
