It's what I love to do, and what I wish to give back to the universe.Īs a qualified teacher of English I have an excellent understanding of drama, Shakespeare, etc. Using some method and the rest, innate ability, I give more than 100% to every role to bring out the best in both character and production. I would also like to state that I am incredibly hard working and focussed. I am now looking to build my CV and be a productive and versatile actress. I am currently without acting representation, but regardless of this, have some amazing projects in the pipeline. I have a particular love for the classics, Shakespeare in particular. I am both Black Theatre Co-op and Afrosax Drama Company alumna, and more recently a student at Identity School of Acting (IDSA). Acting, writing, dramaturgy, producing and creativity in general has never left me, so in effect I am 'coming home'. I say 'return', but in fact I never left. I have returned to acting after spending many years as one of Britain's top session singers, followed by a career as a lecturer in Media and Film and a teacher of English Language & Literature.
