About Me
I run my own theatrical walking tours in London focussed on comedic storytelling of history. I write and perform the tours and manage the business: Herstorical Tours (www.herstoricaltours.co.uk)
I am specialised in character comedy and perform with a sketch group Chaos Theory at regional fringe festivals ( recently Brighton and Camden.)
I regularly write edutainment lectures and performances for London museums.
I have a good ear for accents. I came to acting later in life and prior to this career I was a teacher for many years, teaching both adults and children English as a foreign language, along with corporate skills: negotiating, presenting and role play.
