Personal Description:

I trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and have worked professionally as an actor, voice artist, poet, and educator for eighteen years.

Acting credits include Breeders (Sky), There She Goes (BBC), A Discovery of Witches (Sky), Miss Scarlet and the Duke (Alibi), Call the Midwife (BBC), Philomena (BBC Films), Hecuba (Royal Shakespeare Company), Scorch (Soho Theatre and International Tour), Sons Without Fathers (Arcola Theatre), and Diamond (Bush Theatre).

Voice credits include Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget, Artemis Fowl (Disney), Dora and the Lost City of Gold (Nickelodeon/Paramount), Sherlock (Audible), Downton Abbey (ITV), as well as commercial work for Google, McDonalds, Vodafone, Center Parcs, and BBC Bitesize.

My first poetry collection is published by Burning Eye and I have won numerous poetry slams including the London Slam Final, the UK Anti-Slam Final, the Great Northern Slam, the UK Team Slam at the Royal Albert Hall, and Rappers-v-Poets at the Book Club.

Teaching Experience:

I've been teaching acting, elocution, drama, audition preparation, and voice since 2006. I work one-on-one with both adults and young people and I also run bespoke group workshops in the West End on the subjects of Shakespeare, New Writing, Musical Theatre, Voice, and Street Dance as well as after-school drama clubs across London.

I lead poetry-writing classes online as well as workshops on How To Get Into Voiceover.

In addition to all of this, I teach Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-based Life Skills to children aged 5-11 in Confidence, Positive Thinking, Dealing With Big Feelings, and Creative Problem Solving.

Teaching Approach:

Learning is such an important part of life and can massively impact our overall wellbeing and sense of purpose so I feel very passionately about helping people to explore new avenues. My lessons are super fun, engaging, and challenging and I like to adapt the content and delivery to suit the needs of the student. I've got bags of energy, a genuine love of teaching, and a keen interest in facilitating your learning journey!
