About Me

In life, I am in a relationship and very happy too. In my work life I have worked with children for the last 7 years aged 2 - 14 years old and on stage/tv i enjoy playing a mixture of roles. I enjoy an active life, attending the gym, time with friends and family. I enjoy playing a variety of roles, including 'character' roles and those similar to myself. I also find that the process of getting to the final result is just as exciting for me. I also enjoy the experience of 'live' both presenting and acting. I am a reliable person who can list people being late as a massive pet hate of mine. I am a confident, friendly person and enjoy meeting new people and taking on a fresh challenge!
