I started acting at the age of 10, playing a peasant girl in a stage production at school. I quickly got the acting bug, but followed my passion for acting properly from the age of 20. I attended the T.A.P.S (Theater at Pine Square) drama group touring schools & community center’s staring in the stage production of Aladdin as a handmaiden & during this time I was able to learn about all aspects of Acting including, Costume Design, Graphic Design, Acting & Singing, Backdrops, Props, Stage movement & Choreography among other things while training with TAPS.
As time progressed I enrolled on a Creative Studies course at College to help better my skills appearing in the stage production of Trainspotting playing the role of Lizzy, Tommy’s girlfriend and also as an Elf at the Birmingham NEC’s Santa’s kingdom and have joined various casting agencies both local & international. I have acted in various roles, including Emilia in the Shakespeare stage production of Othello & various other small productions.
I worked at the Alexandra Theater for a time as an ice cream seller & gained valuable experience while working there. Having Martial Art experience I was cast in my first Martial Art feature film Little Black Dragon after being cast as Big Sis alongside professional actors & stunt team from London who helped perfect our skills & trained us in Basic Stunt work. I recently worked on a supernatural student films Consequences & more recently LEAH.
