About Me
I've been passionate about dramatic arts since age 10, starting with a role in a school play that led me to perform at Birmingham Rep. I trained at Helen O'Grady School of Acting, Dudley College in Performing Arts, and earned an HND in community theatre. I continued training at the Poor School of Speech and Drama in London, securing roles in commercials and productions at Birmingham Rep while studying. My experience includes small to medium theatre productions, short films with Biffon Films, and stage performances like Black Country Night Out and One Night with Marilyn.

Additionally, I have construction skills in plastering, tiling, plumbing, and carpentry. I own a car and am physically fit, proficient in body weight exercises and weightlifting. I've trained in fight techniques with knives and sticks. I hold a BSc Honours in Biology from the Open University.
