  My profile shots are diverse the three most used showing contrast-described by my agent as: 'a gangsters moll', a 'yummy mummy' and a 'stern school ma'am'. I can change looks quite flexibly and enjoy challenging roles.
  
  Background Information:
  My interest in Acting began at school where i took part/arranged for plays such as the Wizard of Oz and various public speaking, poetry and public arts events.
  
  Acting has been maintained upon moving away from membership with my agent in Staffordshire with supporting artist my daughter who has enjoyed a few challenging roles herself. Previously performing in Berkshire, Hertfordshire and Northampton (via the Nene Youth Group workshops).
  I have a degree in english literature and psychology and trained in Social Care, that allowed me to join the Social Care Council. I have always undertaken voluntary work as Tithe of service and time.
  Recent work has been with homeless population helping them walk and collecting footwear for them. Also just listening to their story.

• Having medical training and university courses can be aware and share insight in the following fields:
  Children and families law, Community Care Act including Adult Social Care Provisions, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and Children, Medical Research, Podiatrist and administration of Local Anaesthetic. Handling difficult cases and working with types. Good communication skills.
• Assisted on the filming of Crimes That Shook Britain - Road Rage having devastating consequences
  In the scene which was aired but now needs payment to view I play a smartly dressed official bringing together public information to identify the perpetrator. Pace and urgency while working with others is demonstrated.
• For two years I have supported exams in the medical field for paediatricians. This involves portraying characters that are true to life for the potential paediatrician to pick out elements from which they can asses and respond. I would then be asked to feedback to the examiner. Medical degree training helps me but essentially I need to convey genuine feelings during these sessions for the paediatrician to pick up on.
