I have experience playing lead roles and featured roles, with the majority of projects centred around comedy, one of them being 'How Absurd: Life in Absurdity', which a TV series. In another TV series, 'Urban Myths', I was Courtney Booker, a cheerleader, which meant I choreographed my own dance on set for an audition scene. Although I am not a trained dancer, I have excellent movements skills and rhythm as a result of being a musician. I have also worked as a dancer in student film, 'Movements', which is in my videography. I have performed as a Bollywood dancer with the Angel Dancers at The Montcalm Hotel.

I have worked on promotional shoots for Google and MangoItaliano and corporate shoots for Virgin Media. I am also very 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.

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

Eden Model Management

I'm a versatile commercial and fashion model who specialises in beauty and is signed with Eden Model Management on a non-exclusive contract. I have worked on numerous beauty shoots held at AOFM, organised by Maroon London Management, Over the years, I have modelled for clothing, lifestyle and jewellery. I have also branched out into editorial work with photographers Floyd Bolocan, Paulo Ricca and Ophelie Rondeau, modelling modernistic knitwear by Bored Knitless, shooting for high-end private events and participating in short fashion films. My most recent shoot was a bridal fashion shoot with Laura Skye.

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, gaining runway experience when showcasing his work. Please copy link in new tab for footage:

I have an enthusiastic attitude and am able to be natural in front of the camera, which is why I also enjoy doing promotional and corporate shoots for companies such as Google and Virgin Media.

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 modelling skills to produce creative artwork. I have plenty of creative input to add, whilst also being more than happy to take direction. 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 modelling on a shoot for Spicy Affair, which is in my videography.

I have advocated for brands such as Essential Errands, making short promotional videos on my Instagram, and Rock and Roses, providing natural videos with a scripted guide. I have also filmed a scripted testimonial for the Lumi mirror. I have a good engagement rate on social media with a large following, and can add my own individual twist to promotional material.
