About Me
Wow.. I hate these sections, I always feel like I need to come up with the perfect little paragraph, which shows all the good stuff about me all at once... I can never manage! Here's a list of some things..
- I love to perform.
- I love creating characters in my mind and going off on little mini adventures in my thoughts...
- I'm good at time-keeping.
- I take responsibility for my own life, my own actions and my own choices.
- I love a challenge.
- I love watching a good actor/actress and just being in awe of them. I'd like people to feel that feeling when they see me. It's a lovely feeling, mixed between inspiration, aspiration, magic and peace.
Acting

Employment History & Experience
I've been 'acting' since the age of 5 - well, I played a villager and proceeded to fall asleep on set.. But since that point I decided I rather liked it. From a young age I appeared in multiple local pantomimes, and also shows with the local stage society. I was given the role of Annie in 'Annie' at the age of 10, and the following season, the role of Brigitta.
In recent experience, I have appeared in multiple high school shows, always including a speaking part, if not the leading role. With my local stage society I have since played Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz' and will play Mabel in 'The Pirates of Penzance' this coming summer.

I sang with the semi-professional choir, Northern Sinfonia Chorus. We played exclusive concerts of Beethoven's 9th Symphony in Hong Kong in 2009.
I was selected to be in the semi-chorus for a concert showing of 'My Fair Lady' at The Sage Gateshead.
I was a singer in a band from the age of 15 through to 18, where we played many paid and unpaid gigs, in my town and Newcastle.

Interests & Hobbies
I love reading... I'm always reading at least 5 books at once!
The obvious: singing, dancing, acting
Psychology: the human mind is baffling and I try to read as much as possible on this subject!
Cheerleading: a new passion.. it's just so shiny!
Meditating: I have classes once a week, and it just keeps my mind in order! Making sure I'm doing things because I want, not just so I 'look good' to others. I'm just living my life, and meditating helps me keep things in perspective.
