ACTING
After discovering acting at a young age, I trained at The Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts gaining a BA (Hons) Acting. My career since has been full of variety, working in Theatre, Film, TV and Radio.
From multi-role ensemble plays to commercials onscreen and radio, to filming on a rooftop in Brooklyn to Hamlet in 3 days, to puppetry for younger audiences to a gritty, emotional radio play for BBC Radio 4, to playing Mary Shelley in a period drama in Dundee to the West End with Steven Berkoff.
All of it different but my aim is always the same - to get to the heart of the story and find the soul of each character.
I made my West End debut in Steven Berkoff’s ‘On The Waterfront’ at The Theatre Royal Haymarket understudying & then playing Edie Doyle.
Other theatre credits include work for Dundee Rep, The Traverse, The National Theatre of Scotland, Poorboy Theatre Company, The Citizens Theatre, The Arcola, The Old Vic Tunnels, The Arches, Theatre 503, Cumbernauld Theatre, Creation Theatre & PACE Theatre Company.
Radio credits include ‘Bridge’ by Donna Franceschild and ‘Rebus: A Question of Blood’ both for BBC Radio 4.
Film/TV credits include 'Waterloo Road' & 'Shakespeare & Us' for BBC, ‘Small Faces’ (BBC films) and 'Behold Me Standing' (Minehorse Pictures) feature films and most recently 'The Jubliee' a short currently in post production and 'A Sharp Arrow' a proof of concept film starring Kate Dickie. Other shorts include 'American Dream' shot in Brooklyn New York.
