I've been modelling since the age of 18. I've done catwalk, but the majority of my work is in advertising and I would like to move into commercials. I love to have fun on shoots and I'm always smiley, hardworking and enthusiastic on location. I get chosen as often for my funky afro as I do to be a business woman or a mum. In the past year I've done jobs for the RSCPA, Bupa, Lloyds Corporate Markets, Barclaycard Graduates and Alton Towers.

Acting experience

Doctors
I played Ms Blunt a frisky dinner guest at a party that turns out to be for swingers

Pringles 'Testimonials' commercial
I was one of three young women commenting on the new Rice Pringles

AA 'Very Keen' commercial
I'm was one of the AA team in the 'Very Keen' commerical.

Hanrahan Investigates
I had a speaking part playing a sexy secretary. This was a groundbreaking TV series developed for Channel 5.

Casualty @ Holby Christmas Special
I body doubled for the character Donna in the reverse shots for the dramatic Christmas day episode. This required learning several scenes and acting alongside the established cast members.

Zodiac shorts - BBC Worldwide:
I was one of the principal actors playing Aquarius in a series of shorts for BBC worldwide. Each film depicted one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and was filmed in a number of different locations. I was required to ad lib each situation set up by the director based on the traits of the star sign I was playing.

I have also had walk-on roles is several episodes of Casualty and ITV drama Walk Away and I Stumble.

Television experience

Deal or no Deal
I appeared on the first prime time Saturday night 'Deal or No Deal' on C4. I played a until the final two boxes, took the right deal at the right time and beat the banker! I still get recognised - mostly from people admiring my courage - it got so tense I cried (as did most people watching!) You can also see me on the first Deal or no Deal interactive DVD game.

Presenting experience

Rocks & Co.
I am currently presenting on the live gemstone channel Rocks & Co. My role is to bring the gemstones to life for our customers showcasing traditional and contemporary gemstone jewelry. Each show lasts 1-2 hours.

QVC Presenter Search
I was the last female finalist coming third in QVC's search for a new presenter. I went through 3 months of auditions and presenter training school before selling a range of products for real over a six week run of live shows. I sold a variety of products live on QVC in front of a judging panel and our fellow contestants.

Generius
This was an online gaming site with live streamed presenters. I presented three games; fixed odds poker, wheel of fortune and super hi-lo (a play your cards right format). I explained the games, how to bet and the returns as advised by the producer via talkback. I chatted about all sorts of topics, bantered with the regulars via a chatbox and welcomed new players as they joined the game.

Party People
I was one of the 'party girls' on this popular live Sky show. The show runs 7 days a week from 11am until 8pm. The all female show is fun, bubbly, energetic and interactive. You interact with callers on the phone and via text usually with a second presenter and sometimes alone. Because it's a live chat show you need to think on your feet and the flirty nature of the show means you can really have fun with the callers and co-presenters.


Quiz Time / Cash House
In 2006 I have presented Quiz Time Barbados, Quiz Time Jamaica, Quiz Time Trinidad and Cash House UK. Each programme is a live television quiz show. I have presented a hour solo and half an hour handing over to a second presenter. There was no script, live callers and no room for error! I really enjoyed the shows and loved the energy and pressure of a live environment.
