About me...
I am a British actress with a passion for truthful, character-driven performance.
I trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York, where I studied method acting, developing a grounded and emotionally honest approach to my work that continues to shape my performances today.
I have worked across film, television and stage, including period drama, bringing depth and authenticity to a wide range of roles. My experience allows me to move comfortably between more dramatic material and lighter, more commercial work, always with a focus on connection and believability.
Known for my warm, approachable presence, I am particularly well suited to roles that require relatability, strength and subtle emotional depth.
I constantly continue to develop my craft while seeking opportunities that challenge, inspire and tell meaningful stories.

National Film Awards 2026 - WINNER!
I was incredibly proud to be part of Borley Rectory: The Awakening, which won Best Thriller at the 2026 National Film Awards following a public vote of more than 2.7 million film fans.
In the film, I played Marie alongside an outstanding cast including Julian Glover, Patsy Kensit, Mark Wingett, Helen Lederer, Vicki Michelle, Simon Phillips, Lee Brown, and many other talented performers.
The film was directed by Steven M. Smith, written by Steven M. Smith and Christopher Jolley, and produced by Steven M. Smith, Louisa Warren, and Reece Alexander-Putinas, with an atmospheric score by Darren Wonnacott.
Inspired by the legend of England's most haunted house, Borley Rectory: The Awakening received an international cinema release before going on to win the National Film Award for Best Thriller. The award recognised the dedication and talent of everyone involved in the production and marked a significant milestone in my acting career.
Working alongside such an experienced cast and creative team was a privilege, and I remain incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring the film to life, as well as everyone who supported us and voted at the National Film Awards.
