About Me

My name's Emma and I'm 21 from the Northwest.
I'm studying music at Uni, but I've always loved acting as well. I put a lot of time into my music, but I would love the chance to get back into acting and prove myself in that field as well.

Performing is what I love. Nothing beats the feeling of being on stage, just letting go and allowing everyone see who you really are and what you love to do. It does feel like home.

2 quotes that inspire me are:
"Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams"
"I guess if you don't jump you'll never know if you can fly"

Personality wise I am friendly, hard working and enthusiastic and I put my best efforts into everything. I love to try new things and meet new people. Someday I'd love to travel and see all that the world has to offer. That's me. Thanks for reading :)
