Summary
I am always pushing myself to be better and to learn my craft. I have performed in London's West End, and around the UK in various professional roles.
As an Autistic person, I am proud to represent neurodiversity, particularly in girls.
I love to perform but equally thrive on the entire process from music learning, to stage blocking, and I will always give my all.
I am eager to explore new roles and show that nobody should ever be underestimated because of any disability or differnece to the norm.
