About Me

Hi there, I'm Emma, 24 from Wilmslow, Cheshire and I've appeared in public in Amateur Theatre since I was 14, also performing in School Productions, as well as local Musical Festivals and Choirs. I love films, seeing friends, and obviously singing and acting! I love meeting new people which is why I love acting so much. Nothing gives me more joy than being thrown into a cast of strangers who gradually become family over the next few weeks and forging lifeling friendships.
