Holiday update and my new website is finally live!

by

I have been away on my travels again, this time in Sardinia, so make sure you have a look on my Instagram for some more gorgeous holiday snaps. It was my first time sailing around the Maddalena archipelago and I must say I was blown away by its beauty. There are so many different shades of blue in the water, swimming in it amongst all the fish was a truly mesmerising experience. 

And in other news my website is finally live again with a brand spanking new design! Thank you so much to the awesome Christophe Pastor for all your hard work, you’ve done a great job with it.

“Forward Thinking” to be broadcast on TV soon

by

Excited to announce that “Forward Thinking” will be broadcast on a local Brighton TV channel called “Latest Brighton” soon! It will air on Thursday 2nd August at 9pm.

In this short but sweet period drama I played a suffragette who is in love with another woman – a completely taboo subject at the time. 

As the daughter of a wealthy family the world that my character inhabits socially comes with an already established set of rules and expectations which doesn’t make it easy for her to follow her heart… I guess you will have to tune in to find out how she decides in the end.

My new Showreel is on YouTube

by

Today I have decided to quit acting and join the Mars One project instead. It means that soon I will be spending the rest of my life on Mars as part of the first permanent human settlement there. I can’t wait, I’m so excited!

… This was a (significantly bad) April Fools’ Day joke of course. 

In other news, I have very recently uploaded a freshly edited version of my acting showreel. It’s on YouTube guys, go and check it out:

Happy International Women’s Day!

by

Happy International Women’s Day to all my fellow ladies out there! 

Always remembering those who fought for our rights. Playing one of them, a suffragette, has been such an honour. Even though she had her own personal struggles to deal with before finding her strength, she got there in the end nonetheless.

This past year has certainly brought about some changes with #metoo raising awareness to the way women are often (mis)treated not only in the entertainment industry but in our society. Unfortunately there’s still an awful lot of men out there having to learn a lesson or two with regards to respecting women. 

We have come a long way regarding gender equality, particularly in the Western world, but sadly still have a long way to go especially considering other parts of the world where women are denied basic human rights and still don’t have a voice in this day and age. These problems exist even if we might not be experiencing them ourselves – whether it’d be under the pretext of culture, religion or “boys just being boys”.

Let’s keep making changes, through raising our voices to injustice and by raising boys who will grow up to be respectful men and role models to our society.

I’m back from my summer of travels

by

I just got back from an epic summer of travelling around Sicily and Napoli. Italia, quanto mi sei mancata! 

I feel like travelling always makes you grow as a person and gets you back to being grounded and connected with what really matters in your life. On this trip I got to see some truly breathtaking places, been on a few exciting adventures and made many new friends along the way. I’ll be posting lots of stunning pictures from my travels on my Instagram account, so in case you’re not following me already, make sure you’re not missing out:

I just wrapped filming an exciting new urban drama with these guys. Watch out for “Only Wolves”!

 

Here’s a sneak peek of a dark and steamy scene featuring myself and the awesome Shone Romulus. I was playing an exotic dancer in this film and it was actually my first time playing a sexy character on screen – no nudity is to be seen however, I’m sorry to disappoint you all ;-).

 

“Only Wolves” will be released next year and it looks very promising. I’ll keep you updated about it of course.
