About me

I have a vivacious personality with a zest for life and laughter - sense of humour is key. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and have enjoyed working in a 'front' line role' for many years. A very strong communicator and tentative listener I know instinctively how to put someone at their ease very quickly.

I am self employed and for the last 4 years I have been working as a Exam Invigilator in private education & corporate institutes. Have experience in medical role play and looking to branch out more in this field. These jobs are crucial to sustaining me whilst obtaining my ambition to hopefully becoming more successful in the acting world.

Since 2013 have taken the brave steps to follow my dream of a more 'creative' route. Now looking to build on my experience & bring out my unique style to carve out a constructive career for myself. Keen interest in film, theatre & Role Play. To be able to sustain work in all areas would be an amazing dream come true.
