About me
I trained originally as a dancer and worked professionally for several years in classical and modern companies both in the UK and abroad before becoming an actress.I completed a Masters Degree in Performance Studies at Central School of Speech and Drama where my area of research was Play, Risk and Vulnerability in Performance.
My acting work spans theatre, film, television and radio. Film work includes a leading role in the award winning British feature film Twelve In A Box, major roles in several Bollywood films and several award winning short films.
I have won three best actress awards.
Best Actress at the Independent Horror Movie Awards (horrormovieawards.com) for the role of Mallory in Neonate directed by Georgie Kerssenbrock. A Venus award at FILMETS Film Festival in Barcelona and at The International Short Shorts Film Festival Tokyo for the role of Kate in Mass of Men directed by Gabriel Gauchet. TV appearances include the BBC dramas Dustbin Baby and Five Daughters.
I have recorded plays and poetry readings for BBC radio and I record audio books regularly for Audio Go, Isis Publishing, Oakhill Publishing, RNIB and Rushforth Media. I also work for Interact Reading Service, a company of actors who read to stroke patients in London hospitals.
I live in London with my daughter, Antonia.
