Biography
I was born and raised in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
I started dance lessons
aged 5 and that's where this all began! I loved it and by aged 11 I'd joined a
local theatre group and was taking speech and drama lessons. I also had
singing lessons for a few years and although I can hold a tune, I wasn't
fabulous!
I joined the National Youth Music Theatre aged 15 and toured with their
production of The Wizard of Oz and although I had an amazing time, I realised
that straight acting was where my passion lay.
I joined the National Youth Theatre at 16 and toured with their devised piece,
Age Sex Location, in London and Berlin. It was here that I had some fantastic
experiences and made some treasured friends. It's also where I got my first
break!
A wonderful casting director, Doreen Jones, had contacted the National Youth
Theatre to ask if they had any young girls who might be suitable to audition for
an ITV drama project she was casting. I was put forward and after numerous
auditions I got the part. I was both ecstatic and terrified as I'd just finished my
A-Levels and left school and I was due to start at Manchester University
studying English and Drama the following week! My university place was
deferred and I filmed my first job, Take Me, for ITV.
I've been incredibly lucky to have enjoyed a real variety of work since
then including tv drama, comedy, children’s tv, soap, theatre and more
recently, film.
