And founder of Spherical Directions!

I am an Independent Performance Artist based in the North West.

I work exceptionally hard in every project I undertake. I love to create, to act, to direct and watch other performances. I am trained in Theatre, Screen and Radio and I wish to continue working in all three of these disciplines throughout my career.

I am extremely passionate about performance. This is because of its power to be mesmerising and beautiful, devastating and shocking, soul-inspiring and soul-destroying, yet continually motivating social and personal change within us all.

Performance can, in a single moment, lift an audience to unprecedented heights of euphoria, so they feel brighter, happier, energised and full of life and potential; Yet it can also crush an audience and force them to question their belief systems and to look at their own lives, relationships and world in a different way.

During my studies in my BA (Hons) Performing Arts Degree at the University of Salford, where I achieved a 2 : 1, I gained experience performing in Absurd Theatre, Devised Performance, Invisible Theatre, Naturalism, Post Modernism, Physical Theatre, Radio Acting, Screen, Text and Voice.

I am 5ft 8", have a tall, slim build, dark hair and hazel eyes. I am passionate, friendly and I promise you will not find anyone who works as hard as I do!
