I started acting @ the age of 10 playing a peasant girl in a stage production @ 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 @ 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 @ College to help better my skills appearing in the stage production of Trainspotting playing the role of Lizzy, Tommy’s girlfriend & also as an Elf @ the Birmingham NEC’s Santa’s kingdom & 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 @ 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.
