ABOUT ME

I began acting in Belfast through youth theatre in the early 2000s, under the direction of the late Roma Tomelty, eventually studying Drama and Theatre at Trinity College Dublin, 2015-2019.


From small beginnings, I have since worked on many amateur and professional projects in Belfast and Dublin for stage, film, television, and voice-over.

My most recent credits include writing and performing in 'The Case of Gaffy Pooey!', a new short comedy writing, as part of Smock Alley's Scene and Heard Festival, 2023.
