I trained originally as a dancer from childhood, and eventually took classical ballet, contemporary dance, and gymnastics very seriously until I went to drama school at 18. I no longer dance professionally but I retain many of the skills I learned as a dancer, which have proved invaluable to me as an actress and as a model. At drama school (Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, 1997-2000) I took the opportunity to learn much more, and now my skills and qualifications in this field are as follows:-
Dance – Classical ballet including pointe work, Contemporary Dance, Street Dance, Acrobatic Pole Dance and Historical Dance.
Dramatic Combat – I hold the highest possible UK qualification in Stage Fighting, with the highest possible grade. My experience includes work with Broad Swords, Rapiers, Knives, Quarter Staffs, Pistols, Sabres and Unarmed Combat.
I train regularly in the gym (yawn….) and swim, run and take ballet lessons every week. I’m constantly making efforts to improve…

Acting
At drama school I took a three year course in classical and film acting. My course covered classical work, singing, mime, physical theatre, voice training, phonetics, accent work, television and radio technique. I’ve used many of these skills constantly in my work since graduating. Below is a list of my professional work to date.
