Highlights
-
Currently: working on a rehearsed reading of an exciting script (to be performed May 2022)
-
I have previously modelled for stock image photoshoots with Gordon Crabb, and modelled for the front cover image of a Pan Macmillan book (drama-romance).
I have also done experimental and stock image photoshoots with late photographer Keith Morris (fantasy, mystery style), as well as modelling for Twisted Thimble millinery.
This also includes more casual fashion photography sessions for an independent vintage shop, and for other independent local photographers. If you wish to see any examples, please message me. -

Music, especially music through voice, has always been an important part of my personal creative process. I have been singing in choirs since age 11, where I learned to read basic sheet music.
Following this, I have sang in showcases (both in group, duets and solo pieces ranging from pop to Victorian parlor) from age 12-26.
I have also performed in several brilliant musicals, including the roles of Johanna (Sweeney Todd, 2016), Polly Peachum (The Threepenny Opera, 2018) and within several Gilbert & Sullivan operettas in both lead and chorus roles; Mabel (Pirates of Penzance, soprano lead, TBC 2021), Gianetta (The Gondoliers, soprano lead, 2017), Maiden (Patience, soprano chorus, 2019).
I also play guitar at a basic level (self-taught), and have experience writing song lyrics. Please see my Soundcloud account for some examples!
