About Me

I am a lively, committed and likable performer with the unique ability to play years younger than I am. I am very proud of my Northern routes; born in Yorkshire and brought up in Derbyshire but have lived down in London for seven years previous I love acting and have done it for as long as I can remember in TV, film, musicals, theatre and backstage.

I also model for commercials, beauty, portraiture and character based shoots. I love meeting people, taking new opportunities and expanding my experiences. By being hugely motivated, determined and driven, I have successfully built a sturdy CV beginning in 1996 to now. I am more than willing to change my hair colour if necessary for a part.

I also work as a Drama / TIE facilitator for young children, have delivered arts award for young offenders, am very interested in Japanese culture, traveling and do quite a bit of volunteer work with the disabled and elderly.

Modelling experience: Part-time model - paid commercial work

I'm good infront 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 crazy 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 / beauty look.
