About me

My interest in the performing arts started when I decided to turn up at one of my older sister's auditions and was cast in the professional touring show of 'Oliver' in 2012. I have been acting ever since and have been fortunate to be work professionally in theatre, radio, film, on television and also in a VR production which was accepted to the Venice Film Festival and won the Spirit of Raindance Award 2019. I am a company member of the National Youth Theatre and enjoy taking every opportunity to learn from the amazing people in the industry whilst doing something I love.
Additional skills:
I have achieved distinction in my all of my LAMDA (Acting) awards: Grade 2, 4, bronze, silver and gold and undertaken workshops with RWCMD. I have completed my bronze, silver and gold Duke of Edinburgh award and I enjoy keeping fit. I have successfully completed my A levels (drama, biology and maths) and I am now pursuing my acting career.
