About me

How do we make ourselves heard in a world where there are so many compelling and competing voices? Well, I’ll try, an actor with a playful, imaginative personality coupled with excellent sporting skills!

My passion for acting developed after performing Jim in Chatroom (Les Siege of Herons) to sell out performances at Edinburgh Fringe. With Four Star reviews from West End Wilma, I was seen as ‘a chilling representation of online bullying that leads to a final scene that’s hard to watch’.

Having trained in theatre and film at Fourth Monkey and Yati, my appearances on stage include Camden and Edinburgh Fringe with roles such as Death in Everyman, Hamlet in Hamlet, Louis in Angels of America, Tom in Clyne Bourne Park, and numerous immersive horror productions.
Performance on screen includes features films (horror genre ) BBC Drama Productions, TV commercials, music and educational videos I also appear in the the award winning web series Call it a Day .

I am not scared to stand up and be counted. I am motivated to continually develop my craft, even though it takes me outside of my comfort zone. Referred to as a sponge by my directors and peers, I am told I take direction well.

I have a particular interest in film and media work, although love the buzz that comes from stage performances.

Skills training include a B.A. in Acting, Armed Stage Combat, numerous Master Classes and workshops at the Almeida, Frantic Assembly and Punch Drunk. My media work with The Reporters Academy covered projects including the Student Games and NHS Youth Forums. From these experiences I appreciate the importance of taking direction, researching the characters along side the life skills of time keeping, flexibility and resilience whilst maintaining a positive and professional approach at all times.
