About me

I have an outgoing and bubbly personality and love working in a team and interacting with the public. In June of 2005 I graduated from St Mary’s University with a Second Class Honours Degree in Drama and Media. In July 2012 I completed a BTEC National Diploma in Production Arts, specialising in hair and make up for film and theatre. I am fiercely passionate about working in theatre and feel that I now have a strong skill set with which to forge a successful career as a hair and make-up artist. I am extremely hard-working, work well under pressure, a good listener and an involved team member.
