How long have you been working as an actor?

Around 7  Years

And what do you love most about it?

I’ve always found people fascinating in general so I love getting to know new people and finding out how they operate, which works for characters too. I love getting into the brain of someone else, finding ways that my own lived experiences and world views can intertwine with a character to tell a story.

What acting work are you most proud of?

My time working in educational facilities, SEN schools, PRUs etc really shaped me as an actor in my early years in a way that I’m really proud of. I’m also particularly proud of my role in a tv series called Rebel Cheer Squad, it felt like an important role as it was a character I never got to see growing up.
