Education

About me

Hello, I'm Freya and I am an actress and "new" mum! I have always loved creating things, especially through the craft of acting, but tried to convince myself for a long time that there was something else out there for me due to external pressures. But, finally (!), after doing a degree in Archaeology and considering going to chef school, I stopped kidding myself, persued my first passion and started working on my dreams!! I have completed a diploma in screen acting whilst also taking classes at Pinewood Studios and with Hollywood coach Bernard Hiller in London, Vienna and Austria. After getting my "biggest" role to date - Cristina in the BBC's production of Baptiste - I took some time out of acting to focus on my pregnancy and becoming a mum. During lockdown the main project I worked on was a short film called An Endless Summer which I co-wrote, co-produced and starred in (with my baby) which has had great success on the festival circuit!

Additional Information

I am a quarter Polish and visit my family in Poland regularly so am very familiar with the culture and language and am learning to speak and understand it much better.
I love to travel and have been to many countries, immersing myself in the cultures fully and learning about them on another level - I feel this is very useful as an actor and makes my acting much more diverse.
I also am also directing, performing and producing a couple of self-written projects at the moment, with actors that I really trust and am excited for them to get going more!

Additional Skills

I am good at accents as I have always mimicked people and picked them up relatively easily so am confident trying ones that I have not ticked that I can do.
I currently have a basic level of Spanish, French and Polish and continue to focus on and learn these skills.
I play Violin (Grade 7), Piano (Grade 5) and Recorder (Grade 2) and have taught myself Guitar to a good standard. I also sing, as part of a choir but also solo.
I horse-ride frequently, do archery and used to play women's rugby.
