ACTOR

I began acting at university (graduating with honours in English Literature with Media studies), touring with a production to the Edinburgh Fringe before transitioning to behind-the-scenes work and academia. Her return to performance was sparked by audiobook narration, then securing a lead role in a theatre three-hander, earning multiple awards and nominations.
I'm an Equity member, and I continue to hone my skills through workshops and courses, and work as a versatile professional stage, screen and voice actor and audiobook narrator, known for my character work and accents.
