About me
I am an actor and director currently based in the West Midlands. I hold a BFA in Acting from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and recently completed my Master's in Shakespeare and Creativity at the University of Birmingham. I specialize in Shakespeare but am well versed in contemporary theatre, musical theatre, and theatre for young audiences. I'm trained in screen acting and look forward to seeking out more opportunities in this area. I have experiencing producing my own projects, and have relished using my proactive approach to create opportunities for other artists — from a sold-out Boston Burlesque Cabaret to an immersive multi-media Shakespeare adaptation, and everything in between! I'm adaptable, comfortable improvising, and enjoy taking movement-based approaches. I'm passionate about arts accessibility and education, and have extensive experience as a teaching artist as well.Acting experience:
