About: 
I began acting in youth groups from the age of 11 and have not stopped since. Throughout my school and university life I undertook various courses and workshops and have performed in several short films and theatrical productions, and also had a starring role in a feature film. At the end of last year I decided to pursue a professional career in acting and am now working full time in pursing a career in feature films. At present I am working and auditioning in other parts of the country as well as Scotland.
