About Me
Studying Drama in Exeter, home is Oxfordshire... happy to travel!
I love playing anything from a boring school girl to an mad old granny! My latest film role was playing the lead in a short film: 'A Friend for Dinner' for which I won Best Young Actress, NYIFA and Best Actress for a Short, Accord Cine Fest.
As a murderer in the short film 'Middle Management', I helped the film to win 'Film of the month' in the IntoFilm competition run by the BFI and be winner of the Nikki Delamotte Award, Kids Film it Festival. It was also an INDIs Nominee.
My latest theatrical role was as sixth form Drama scholar: Queen Margaret in Henry VI. For my A level I devised a group piece based on the Salem Witch Trials. I also played Billy Flynn in 'Chicago' and the lead in 'The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui' by Berthold Brecht. I was lucky enough to direct Macbeth at the New Theatre, Oxford for the Shakespeare Schools Festival.
