About Me

I am an actor with a strong foundation in theatre, developed through sustained work with the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Next Generation Act. Since joining the programme in 2023, I have performed in Two Gentlemen of Verona and Hamlet, and in 2025 I played the lead role of Timon in Timon of Athens. These productions immersed me in professional rehearsal processes and demanding performance schedules, shaping a disciplined and focused approach to my work.

My experience has built confidence with classical text, vocal precision and physical storytelling, while remaining emotionally grounded and clear. Ensemble work has strengthened my listening skills, spatial awareness and responsiveness on stage, while leading a cast developed stamina, responsibility and consistency across performances. Alongside this, contemporary performance projects have deepened my instinct for naturalism and truthful connection with an audience.

I approach acting with curiosity, resilience and commitment, val
