About Me

I have over 20 years’ experience performing with local theatre companies and have been described as a protean, instinctive and collaborative performer who take direction well.

Roles have included: Nancy in Frozen by Bryony Lavery, Lorraine in Little Gem by Elaine Murphy, Annette in God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, Marianne in Constellations by Nick Payne, Molly in Dusk Rings a Bell by Stephen Belber, Bernadette in Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons by Sam Steiner and most recently Maude in Bakersfield Mist by Stephen Sachs.

I have a holistic approach to any project and am confident, disciplined, able to learn lines and take direction.
