A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME

• I was born and raised in Northumberland. It's a beautiful part of the world.

• In 2003 I graduated Durham University with a BA in Archaeology, and an MSc in Palaeopathology (2004).

• Growing up I danced at every spare moment, and at university fell in love with the theatre and acting.

• In 2008 I followed my heart, crossing the border to spend three wonderful years studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Glasgow). I graduated with a BA in Acting in 2011.

• In my final year, I was selected for the BBC Carlton Hobbs radio competition as an RCS team member.

​

• Since then, I have worked professionally at theatres throughout the UK, including productions by the Nuffield Theatre, York Theatre Royal, Theatre by the Lake and Stephen Joseph Theatre.

• In 2013-15 I toured with the National Theatre's War Horse company across the UK, Ireland and South Africa.

• I've worked in television for BBC1, ITV1 and Channel 4.

​

• I’ve voiced characters for animation, web series and puppet theatre; provided ADR for film; and promoted products through corporate brochures.

• I'm a member of the The VoiceOver Network, and a graduate of the Voiceover Kickstart.
