I bring a seasoned professional hand to my work. A child of the industry with actor parents, I have acted since the year dot but took a few years away from the business. During this time, I lived and worked abroad, building a successful career in defence journalism and human rights before returning to embrace my home turf and acting DNA. It’s been a fantastically rich and eclectic journey that has shaped me as a performer.

Working globally including for multi-award-winning playwrights and filmmakers - my theatre credits span the West End, regional, national, and international touring, including Europe, Australia, and Pakistan. Notable stage work includes King Charles III (Almeida West End & Sydney Theatre Company). On screen, I have appeared in BBC, ITV, Disney/Hulu, Netflix, and Bollywood productions, including the Royal Television Society-winning What About Me. Upcoming projects include ITV’s Code of Silence, Grace, and Hallmark’s Once Upon a Royal Summer.

My first feature film was alongside Sir Michael Caine and Martin Landau. I won Best Supporting Actress for Toby’s Song at the Independent Shorts Awards (ISAs) in Los Angeles and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the British Horror Film Festival for The Heritage (Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween).

As a filmmaker, my projects including The Shriving, The Confessional and Verses from Diamond Hill have been Official Selections and Award-Winners at festivals such as Independent Shorts, LA’s Indie Shorts Fest, London’s East End Film Festival, and two Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) - affiliated festivals.

My time filming in a Lebanese refugee camp deeply influenced my passion for socially conscious storytelling. I am proud alumni from the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, London (ALRA) and Espace Acteur in Paris.
