About Me

/Who Am I

I am a graduate Actor from Academy of Live and Recorded Arts London, and the University of Life and do a multitude of part-time jobs to keep the wolves at bay. Acting has allowed me to learn more about myself and has helped me to mature as a person, learning how to connect and engage with people.

Any project I take on I give my all and I can memorize scripts almost any length in just a short space of time. I am honest, reliable and have a very good work ethic. I work well as a team member and I am prepared to offer support as well as be supported.

 

  Follow me on twitter to find out more about my new projects!

  My philosophy in life has always been that
«you get out of it what you put into it»

/What I do

The fact that I got myself involved in many acting experiences has helped me learn the essence of acting through my imagination, improvisation and creativity.

ACTING

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. Great acting is great story telling.

DIRECTING

Stories and movies touch our heart and awaken our vision and change the way we see things. They open doors and minds.

VOICE ACTING

Sincerity and the correct use of the voice are the greatest things in the art of acting.
