I am an Edinburgh based actor that is represented by Victoria Steven Management. In August 2024, I played Roz in Kangaroo Court's production of 'Shotgunned' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. For this performance I received The Bright Spark Award for emerging Scottish Talent (The Scottish Theatre Awards 2024).
Since graduating from the University of Greenwich in 2019, I have toured as an actor with several companies, including; Chapter House Theatre Company; White Horse Theatre; Teatrino; and West Midlands Children's Theatre.
I have also starred in several short films, and recently played a supporting role in Hollow Ground Productions newest feature film.
Now that I am back in Edinburgh I am looking to make more connections in the Scottish industry.
Since graduating I have toured/worked for several TIE companies across the UK and Europe. Majority of my TIE work has focussed on teaching English as a foreign language through theatre and play. To supplement my experience I gained a CELTA qualification is 2021. I currently run and assist drama classes, for 6-18 year olds, with Mix Up Theatre.
I am leading and assisting drama classes for Mix up Theatre.
In June this year I worked as background for an Apple TV production.
