I can never remember exactly when I wanted to be an actor. Only that I have always loved performing, and this is why I have made it my life's passion. 

​

A formative experience for me in my acting journey was appearing in the annual Greek Play at UCL. The opportunity to play in front of hundreds of people, in five separate shows at the newly revamped Bloomsbury Theatre, gave me a taste of the professional world and provided me with a newfound resolve to become a professional actor. 

​

Upon graduating from UCL, one of the first steps I took was to secure acting membership at Questors and Tower Theatre - two of the leading non-professional theatre companies in London. Through the Tower Theatre, I was cast in my first musical - an original production of the life, death and legacy of Thomas Becket, which was performed at the Guildhall Yard in the City of London. 

​

The following year, I was accepted onto a foundation course at Mountview. Over the course of six months, I learned how to perform movement and dance routines, to protect and utilise my voice, to recite Shakespeare, to sing both individually and as part of a group, to make my own film and to make bold, creative choices in both auditions and performance. The two showcases as part of the course were major highlights: in the first, I had to embody a rapping witch who moved like a chimpanzee in a reimagined version of Macbeth, and in the latter, I portrayed an incompetent, bumbling Army Captain in an original military courtroom story. 

​

That course, without a doubt, transformed my approach to acting, and I have since secured Spotlight Membership, received a professionally produced showreel, and been cast in several leading roles across stage and screen. At the moment, I am developing and honing skills, trying to secure representation, and hoping to produce a few projects that I have been cultivating behind the scenes for some time. 

​

The most important lesson I have learnt is that with hard work, grit and determination, anything is possible.
