About Me

I am a lively, committed and a likable person who is determined to make the most out of every situation, I love acting and I have done it for as long as I can remember - school plays, the local theatre, village events etc. I have also done a considerable amount of dancing from the age of two. I love making new friends and taking new opportunities, as throughout my life I have found that you have to make the most while you can. I am willing to try new things and believe that with every new experience, whether it be acting in films / theatre or just from living life, comes a learning point that I can benefit from. I am also very interested in Japanese culture and do quite a bit of volunteer work. I recently returned from a month long trip to Africa, after being there doing project work at a school in a small village called Nompondo. I enjoyed this experience thoroughly and realised many things about myself. I now know that acting and performing is my main passion and will do almost anything to make it happen!

I'm good in front of a camera and I am open to interesting ideas / styles. I have done quite a few shoots before and really enjoyed them, Some people would say I’m quirky and I would love to maybe show this in pictures, as I believe it is maybe one of my more 'fun' qualities, which is always nice to share with others! I also enjoy other stylised shoots and take a particular interest in the vintage / 60s look.
