THE GOOD

I’m currently getting ready to join the Award winning Theatre Peckham’s Christmas Panto Rapunzel. I’ve just finished performing the Principal role of ‘Debbie the Chef’ at Mamma Mia! The Party (The O2), celebrating the hits of ABBA, with Bjorn Ulvaeus himself as my boss! Prior to that I was Nurse Norma/1st Cover Becky in the UK & Ireland Tour of smash hit West End/Broadway production Waitress the Musical. Before that I strutted my stuff as Queen Anna of Cleves in the worldwide phenomenon SIX (Bliss 2.0), Milan Stage Manager/1st cover Trish in Kinky Boots (UK & Ireland Tour)  and Clara/ cover Oda Mae Brown in GHOST (Asia Tour). I’ve performed on all major UK TV channels (BBC1, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, SKY1, MTV/Base), performed in some of the most luxurious 5* venues (The Landmark, The Langham), with/ for some of the most wonderful celebrities including Peter Andre, Baby Spice Emma Bunton, Sharon D Clarke, Clive Rowe, and numerous sports stars private events such as Ron Dennis CBE (McLaren TAG Heuer), Belgium Football striker Christian Benteke (Wedding), Rugby League/Union Jason Robinson OBE (Wedding).

THE BAD

Despite the perceived ‘glitz and glam’, my upbringing was anything but; single-parent household, extreme poverty, domestic violence in the household, a boyfriend in prison, bullied at school, suicidal thoughts, seeing a gun, and all that before I turned 16! Through hard work and sheer determination I turned my life mantra from “Life is s*** and then you die!” to “Life is what you make it, so make it great!”

My CV is not based on “luck”, I wish! It’s sheer determination to succeed, hard work, an ‘above and beyond’ mentality, sacrificing sleep, going to bed at 4am consistently, missing family functions, missing my best friends birthday(s), missing watching family members grow up, sexism, racism, predjudice, an insatiable desire to change the trajectory I was born into, a desire to break generational traumas, dealing with constant rejection (‘THE GOOD’ represents the jobs I DID get not the ones I didn’t). I’ve cried, I’ve had breakdowns, I’ve picked myself back up, I’ve cried some more… Welcome to the “Life of a Performer” that being said I LOVE what I do, I LOVE who I am, and I LOVE who I continue to become!
