I have NO TATTOOS and 8 piercings, all of which are in my ears and can be removed.

I got into acting relatively recently. In November 2012 I played Ulicia in episode 2 of a short fantasy web series 'Legend of the Seeker', and Jack's Mother in short film 'Grandad and I' (2013) trailer: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151285599606132.

I acted as two different zombies in short film Tao of the Dead (2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecGQgaEMfo8 (and according to the director I was the best zombie actor!). I have done other short video work such as solo secret agent action scenes for a clothing business and dancing in an industrial dance video.

As a photographic model I sometimes play conceptual and 'character' roles and am required to act for the camera. I have played many characters including: Joan of Arc, woman being chased through woods (once film noir style, once horror style), Steampunk jail breaker, mutilated animal, angel in love with another female angel, secret agent, vengeful doll, hillbilly waitress, hippy, wood nymph, sorceress...

I have done first person historical reenactment interacting with the public in role, including two weeks as a Tudor dyer at Kentwell Hall Tudor Reenactment talking with school parties and members of the public in role (the year 1538).

Prior to all the above I have been in two secondary school plays (including playing Ethel in The Burston Drum) and participated in short sketches whenever the opportunities happen to arise (socially and on stage),

I have sung on television in choirs in:
- Songs of Praise (with Berkshire Youth Choir, 2002),
- Choir of the Year (Berkshire Youth Choir, 2000, 2002),
- Return of the Zong (2007) - several television news broadcasts of a replica slave ship, where I was in the specially-formed choir singing on board the ship as it travelled down the Thames.
