I am originally from Devon and have been performing since a young age. At the age of 18 I was awarded a scholarship to train at the Arts Educational School, in London on the three year Musical Theatre course and graduated with a BA hons degree. Since then I have worked in many West End and repertory productions working alongside some of the most prestigious directors and actors in the business.
I have performed in the West End production of Hairspray alongside Michael Ball, Les Dennis and Brian Connelly. Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia and Love Never Dies) Cast by David Grindrod. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers alongside Susan Mcfadden (Legally Blonde) and Steven Houghton (Coronation Street); I have also sung alongside Gareth Gates playing Michael in ' A Spoonful of Stiles and Drewe' at Her Majesty's Theatre; and played Flat Stanley in 'Flat Stanley' directed by Matt Aston and cast by Sooki Mcshane at the 'Nottingham Lakeside'; to name a few.
When I was younger the dream of making it on the West End was so exciting. I always wanted someone in the business to inspire me and to share their experiences. Musical Theatre is a disciplined profession that requires the ability to work under pressure with constant professionalism; it brings out confidence and integrity! I have developed many of these necessary skills and I am ready to pass them on.
I also teach Jazz and Musical Theatre as a lecturer at Exeter College and Choreograph at Exeter School.
