My interest in the BA hons course is sparked by a passion and

commitment to the Performing Arts. As an actress I aspire to


fully dedicate myself to my art and continuously progress.
I am invested in becoming a versatile and well-rounded
actress in order to engage and inspire audiences, providing
entertainment as well as a new perspective on political issues
or moral beliefs.
I am dedicated to telling stories and inhabiting different
characters without judgement or bias.
I have worked with varying theatre companies such as “The
Northcott Young Company.” I achieved up to a Grade 5
Vanguard Acting Exam and a Grade 8 ensemble acting
examination with distinction with “The Drama School of
Exeter.”
I can adapt to new environments and people flexibly as an
actress. Partly due to the fact that as an active member of
the “National Youth Theatre” I have worked with a range of
companies across the country, with like-minded young
people on short films such as Total Insight Theatre’s
“Crossing the Threshold” as well as a paid promotional video.
This developed my teamwork and leadership skills, showing
the importance of listening as well as communicating and
exploring ideas effectively as part of a group.
As a part of the Exeter College Performing Arts Academy, I
also featured in a short film called “Behind the Curtain” by a
local company called "Wandering Tiger” exploring the impact
of the coronavirus on a diverse collective of individuals in
society. The project was filmed online, independently, giving
me directorial and production experience.
As a practitioner I pride myself in my enthusiasm, problem
solving skills and work ethic. Skills I acquired in my part-time
job as a housekeeper at “Rockbeare Manor” a local wedding
venue, the role is extremely physically demanding and
requires working in a close group communicating and
cooperating with colleagues individual work style and
capabilities.
In the winter season of 2019, I worked as a professional
performer in a Santa’s grotto acting as an elf singing and
taking care of children. This job enabled me to upskill my
improvising technique as well as provide a different
perspective of acting that was more interactive with the
audience and therefore intimate.
This job required me to stay in character for long periods of
time, developing my character work and discipline.
It was necessary to be consistently punctual due to the fact
the grotto operated on a strict timetable.
As a person I have a great passion for the outdoors, I
particularly love surfing. I have a great interest in classic
1990s films such as
“The Beach” and “The Green Mile.” In my spare time I enjoy
reading screenplays by directors I admire such as Martin
Scorcese, Joel and Ethan Coen.
