SKILLS
| Acting | Professionally trained Actress, with experience on stage and screen; including TV, Film and corporate. I studied at Rose Bruford College and spent a year training at Stephen F Austin State University in the USA. |
| Presenting | During my professional career, I've had the opportunity to present on stage at the London Palladium and at a live music event that aired on local TV. I have also embarked on a number of presenting to camera courses. |
| Voice Coach | As somebody who picks up accents easily and confidently teaches and leads, I've been asked to help coach actors with their accents. I've had the pleasure of working with TinShed Theatre on their production 'Of Mice and Men' and I was able to offer Irish accent coaching for a Conner McPherson play at Hyde Park Theatre in Austin TX. |
| Singing | I wouldn't call myself a professional singer but I can hold a tune. I've had some professional singing training and would perform regularly at Drama School. I'm a Mezzo |

TRAINING
| Audible Workshop | I was able to prepare two scripts, which were recorded for my showreel. I then received feedback on my work, which was all very positive. I was described as having a good pace and a pure tone, very good characterisation, excellent fluency of my readings and a strong sight reader. |
| Rose Bruford College | During my 3 years at Drama School, I undertook extensive voice coaching, including an in-depth look at the American accent as well as classes in Shakespeare and the rhythm of delivery. Alongside this, we worked a lot on breathing, voice strengthening, projection, sight-reading and various other accent focused training. |
