Personal Profile
I am passionate about pursuing a career in Theatre, TV and Film. To be a part of creating a
production that I am proud of would be both satisfying and fulfilling. I have involved myself in
every opportunity available, both on stage and off, to gain more experience and learn new skills. It
has allowed me to see first hand the day to day work that is required in this field, and it has ignited
my passion to be a part of the process.
