About me

I have been doing extra work since June 2005. Although I enjoy doing extra work I would like to do a lot more featured roles and challenging main character roles.

I am confident and at ease in front of a camera. I am punctual, professional on set but also a lot of fun to work with.

Dancing experience:
I danced practically everyday as a child all the way up to the age of 20. I have taken part in performances at the Hackney Empire, local Town Halls and regularly took part in performances at my old dance school back in Hastings.

I will be rejoining dance classes in a variety of styles including Jazz, Contemporary and Hip-Hop Street Dance.

I like to do a bit more work involving dance.
Singing experience:
I do sing but only as an amateur. I've never taken proper singing lessons.
Modelling experience:
I've done modelling work for the "British Amateur Swimming Association" and Nokia Phones.


Television experience:
I have been in feature length films such as, "Broken", "Alien Autopsy", "Starter At Ten" and most recently "Incendiary".

I have also done plenty of television work:

"Vital Signs", "Perfect Parents", "The Wonderful Mrs Pritchard", "Ditch The Bitch", "A Class Apart", "Silent Witness", "Trial & Retribution", "Holby City" and children's television programme, "My Life As A Popat". I have also done commercials for Nigerian television.
Specific skills:
Swimming, ride a bike, intermediate singing skills, dancing. I also have advance reception and secretarial skills. I am advance in Word 98, 2000, Excel, Powerpoint and other Microsoft and Apple packages. I type at 60wpm
My interests:
My interests are mainly dancing and Martial Arts. I will be rejoining Martial Arts classes and dances classes very soon.
