I am passionate about my acting and modelling - as well as my career, it is my hobby and passion. My first love is the theatre; however, I am now also focusing on extending my skills into TV and film. I have for the last several years trained in the physical theatre styles of the Suzuki Method and Viewpoints (with Zen Zen Zo). I am currently working on extending my skills in the GenAm accent, in guitar and in solo singing. I am also interested in fitness - running, cycling and yoga.

I aim to continue working as a professional actress in the theatre and in film, and supporting myself through this work. My aim is eventually to work to a standard where I have offers coming in and am able to choose my own work. I am looking to get more exposure to mainstream TV and Film; and to eventually move my income to film / TV.
