Education

About me

I was brought up in a theatrical family, so have been on stage as long as I can remember. But it wasn't until my late 20s that I realised I wanted to pursue acting as a career and went to Mountview Academy on the post-grad Acting & Musical Theatre course. Although my background was Musical Theatre I developed a love of, and strength in, the really 'meaty', emotional roles! When my children came along, I continued acting on a local basis and went into writing songs for children's theatre. I also became resident choreographer for a theatre company who specialises in musical versions of Shakespeare plays. With my children now grown up, I relaunched my professional career, with great timing, during the pandemic, but as a result developed voice-over work and have my own home studio. I am represented by Mane & Rose Talent Management.
