Photography, Voice Over actor,

I have enjoyed photography as a hobby for many years, documenting everyday life and all of life's biggest moments. I enjoy experimenting with framing a shot in an interesting, creative way, and editing my work.


Starting as a pandemic hobby, I have enjoyed ongoing courses from Such A Voice, learning about and perfecting the art of voice over acting. I am learning how to record copy and edit my work in my home studio, and how to market my talent.
