Bio

I am 21 years old and live in Salford. I love comedy, tragedy and anything in between, no matter the size of the role. I believe there are intricacies and interesting qualities in every role, which I get a kick out of exploring to sincerely embody a role. Recently, I played Ashe, an emotionally intense role in my final year show, Light Falls, and was also lucky enough to play Lady Montague in Romeo and Juliet, another 3rd Year Show. Writing also interests me: I helped write dialogue for 'Out There', my TV scene, to help educate an audience in a tender way about stammering - a very beautiful experience for me as I stammer myself, however not usually as much as I do in my scene, and when given a regular script after I've learnt my lines, my stammer is not noticeable.
