About Me

Usually cast in comedic roles, I have also secured roles with more naturalistic non-comedic roles and some with gravitas.

My acting experience range includes film and theatre. From short films, to features, to fringe style theatre to musical theatre. I thoroughly enjoy the processes of both and in 2020 just before the first 2020 covid lockdown I was cast in the musical Oliver. I can hold a note and my wide range or accent abilities appealed.

In 2023 I was a supporting artist in my first experience in a feature film. Though it is an action comedy, the scenes I was in required non-comedy acting. I found working with such a huge production team and the discipline required highly fulfilling.

I am a novice stand up comic on the London circuit and have written my one woman short film, to be filmed in 2024/25. I have over 10 years experience djing with vinyl and learnt to dj digitally this year (2024) - intending to do more of that!
