About me

I love the thrill of performing and becoming someone else. There is nothing quite like it. I have been acting for many years and have enjoyed the variety of roles I've played. I've been in comedies such as 'Loot' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and I've played emotional, troubled characters such as Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain, in 'The Thrill of Love' and a prisoner in Auschwitz in 'Who Will Carry the Word' at the Edinburgh Festival. More recently I appeared as a terrified worker running for my life from a creature only to be then shot by a firing squad in a horror film, The Rizen, so another completely different acting experience for my repertoire. I am hoping to find even more exciting, challenging roles in the future.
Additional skills:
I have been attending pole fitness classes for almost 4 years, and have performed in several in house and external amateur charity shows.
Additional information:
I live in Sevenoaks in Kent but can travel easily into London for work. I also have access to a car, and I am not currently in full time employment so I am very flexible and available for work.
