The people.

Worldwide campaigns for Whirlpool as their goddess where I got to travel the world.

Work hard, have resilience and help each other out.
Interesting fact about yourself?
I’m a full time actress and model, and just achieved a first in a Physics degree that I did as a hobby.
What made you want to be a model?
I’m professionally trained in acting, dance and musical theatre and actually fell into modelling after working in the Westend. I enjoy the acting side of commercial modelling the most and it compliments my acting work and special skills.
Why should more clients shoot in the North East?
It’s a beautiful place, with great amenities, so it’s a fantastic place to work (and a pub is never too far away for wrap parties).
