About me
I pride myself on my versatility as a performer combined with life experience and commitment. Since being called on stage by a travelling theatre group as a child, I have been learning and practising the art of performance. I began working professionally while living abroad. I starred in a TV advertisement for a high street Bank in Spain and did voice overs for companies promoting products and services to the UK. Back in England I engaged in Community theatre in Newcastle working with young people from challenging backgrounds. Later, I completed a Masters degree in Theatre and Performance at the University of Sheffield, learning from a variety of Professional Theatre groups. I developed a speciality in Forum theatre which I incorporated into a cultural exchange visit to Nicaragua in 2016. I now study acting at the Actors Workshop in Nottingham run by industry professionals to fine tune and finesse my acting abilities through all media. I am happy with comedy or deep drama.Skills
