About me

I am an Equity member who has just finished working as an actor in a main role for a feature film ‘Surrender To It’ for Fourmost Films, filmed mostly in Wales over the summer months. The film is due for release in early 2024. I have also on September 1st enjoyed working on an upcoming episode of BBC soap Doctors. I have just also finished working on a short film called Stanley set to hit the film festival circuit in 2024. And have also been in a brand new panto style play, called ‘Some like it Notts’’. Last December I worked on a BFI film called ‘Harm’, among many other short films, staged plays and improv nights I have performed in during the last couple of years.

I am a graduate of the University of Sunderland and studied a 75% practical Film and Media BA Hons. Before that I studied Drama, English Literature and Media at A level. I have worked at The Press Association in their image department for two years after I graduated and left to gain experience on local film productions in Nottingham. Since then I have worked on many other various short films, both in front and behind camera and I am a member of The Actor's Workshop Nottingham.

I am a reliable versitile prompt, approachable, good natured, and hard working, individual looking to be part of a creative team and enjoy working both on camera and behind the scenes, having recently been hired to work as an intimacy consultant on a music video for Melmay Smith. I can be trusted to do a good job, in which ever position or roll I am allocated.

Stage: Jo (the bride) and Tez in ‘Some Like it Notts’
Snug the Joiner/Mustard Seed in ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’.
Diane in "Essex Girls",

Felicity in "Stop the Clocks"

Hailey - BFI film ‘Harm’

Additional skills:

Industry awards:
Nominated for an STA award.

Additional information:
I have a great sense of humour but can be serious when I need to get the job done. I'm very creative and resourceful and have a passion for acting as well as production. I'm a perfectionist in everything that I do and can also make a mean cup of tea!
