About me
Actor, presenter, singer and performer, I commenced my career as a writer and performance poet and this evolved dramatically over the last 15 years into theatre and singing performances, drama facilitation for adults and young people with learning disabilities, voiceover and communication skills training. I am Event Lead for a North East team of Murder Mystery players called Tall Tales Mysteries, combining script and improvisation for a truly memorable event! Most recently this has been to international, corporate, public and private audiences via Zoom. I am constantly seeking to expand my portfolio with stretching roles and collaborations and welcome the opportunity to do so both virtually and on location. I wish to develop a showreel with more TV and film experiences.Acting experience:
Please see verified credits
Additional skills:
Second Soprano in mixed choir, Urban Chorus, Trained in Improvised Comedy for 2 years and performed live with Newcastle based troupe 'On The Spot' for 1.5 years. Hosting and acting in virtual events on Zoom.
Additional information:
I sit on the Board of Directors for The Customs House, South Shields having being given the opportunity to develop my acting there in numerous community productions since 2002. I was invited to be a trustee following completion of my MA in Cultural and Creative Industries Management (Commendation) in 2018.
