About

I graduated from Greasepaint Makeup School in London in July 2015, previously to this I studied Performance Design at the University of Leeds. Whilst at Greasepaint I learnt a variety of skills for TV, Film and Theatre and continued to study Airbrushing and Body painting and went onto Futher Prosthetics. I have a range of skills which I have used since in a variety of projects within television, film and theatre.

I Have previously worked as workshop trainee at KM Effects where I had the opportuntity to work in a range of materials including foam, fibre glass and silicone creating pieces for major upcoming projects.

I have furthered my career taking on more recent roles in various TV productions both period and modern day drama. 

I am looking for opportunities where I can challenge myself and learn and perfect my skills gained throughout my training and on recent jobs. I am keen to develop my skills in the industry and I am extremely passionate about the work that I do.
