Recently, I have worked on promotional shoots for Google and corporate shoots for Virgin Media, and am more than comfortable also playing myself, having worked on infomercials such as 'If I Can' produced by Vice, for Change Incorporated and 'Have you got Any I.D?' produced by The Hook.

I have experience playing lead roles and featured roles, with the majority of projects centred around comedy, one of them being a TV series, 'How Absurd: Life in Absurdity': https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9058867

I have experience in dance roles, one of them being a cheerleader, Courtney Booker, in 'Urban Myths: Andy and the Donald' (also a TV series). In this particular shoot, I choreographed my own dance on set for an audition scene. I have worked as a dancer in student film, 'Movements', which is on my showreel. Although I am not a trained dancer, I have excellent movements skills and rhythm as a result of being a musician. I have performed a Bollywood dance with the Angel Dancers at The Montcalm Hotel.

Additionally, I work part-time as a supporting artist, having worked on feature films such as The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and Detective Pokemon, so I have plenty of camera experience.

Versatile model who has experience in lifestyle shoots and specialises in beauty. I have worked on numerous beauty shoots held at AOFM, organised by Maroon London Management, to which I am signed on a non-exclusive contract, in addition to Eden Model Management. I have worked as a hair model for high-end exhibitions and showcases such as Salon International 2019. Here, I worked for Guy Tang at his launch of #mydentity in London, showcasing his latest look on the catwalk in ExCel Auditorium. Please copy link in new tab for footage:

Over the years, I have modeled for concept images, lifestyle shots and fine art shoots. I have also participated in workshops with students from The London School of Photography to explore themes such as 'Emotions', fusing my acting skills with my modeling skills to produce creative artwork. I have plenty of creative input to add, whilst also being more than happy to take full direction. I'm a versatile model with an enthusiastic attitude, who is able to be natural in front of the camera. I have done promotional and corporate shoots for companies such as Google and Virgin Media.

While I prefer more artistic and creative shoots, I am not shy to work at events as a model, entertaining guests at parties such as the ICE Gaming After Party for Anthony Joshua. Recently I have broadened into lingerie modeling on a shoot for Spicy Affair:

This one in particular shows close up of my hands, with which I have also modelled jewellery, giving me experience in hand modeling.

Trumpet player, piano player and music graduate from the University of Southampton (2.1) who has also worked as a Primary Music Graduate Assistant at British International School Ho Chi Minh City. Here, she taught music across all age groups in primary and secondary school, specialising in teaching EYFS music. She is part of the Tomorrow's Warriors Female Frontline, who have played at prestigious venues such as Pizza Express Jazz Club, Cadogan Hall (supporting Monty Alexander) and The Jazz Cafe as a headline act with guest players, Dennis Rollins and James Morton. They have played festivals such as Love Supreme, Ealing Jazz Festival and We Out Here. Laetitia also plays with singer/songwriter Jelly Cleaver (guitarist of female frontline), also performing at We Out Here. Ongoing musical projects are blossoming from the branches formed by female frontline.

Laetitia has also played with Kinetika Bloco, supporting the Hot 8 Brass Band at The Camden Roundhouse. She has a keen interest in constant studying and often participates in short-term projects such as workshops held by The Third Orchestra and the (Im)Possibilities Creative Learning Ensemble, who have performed at the EFG London Jazz Festival on numerous occasions. She often attends masterclasses led by trumpet players such as Laura Jurd and Kevin Robinson.

Deeply interested in music from other cultures, Laetitia has joined Mariachi Las Adelitas - an all-female Mariachi band! Thriving in an all female environment, she loves the resilience that Adelita women symbolises and enjoys the variety in performances: playing in schools for World Culture Day, to playing Salma Hayek's birthday at 5 Hertford Street! It is with Las Adelitas, that she has played at many members' clubs such as Annabel's and The Landsdowne Club. She was excited to return to The Camden Roundhouse to play at Lucha Libre and her particular favourite performances with Las Adelitas are Mexican celebratory dates such as Cinco de Mayo and Dia de los Muertos.
