About me
As an actor, I aim to shed light on our human experience by telling stories that reveal life's intricacies. I am an acting alumnus of Drama Centre London. I am also a record collector and music enthusiast. In an effort to combine my love for dance, movement and martial arts, at the beginning of 2020 I began Capoeira classes, throughout lockdown I continue to train online. I am passionate about my craft and hope to work with other inspiring creatives in Theatre, Film and Television. I am particularly interested in independent cinema.Acting experience:
