What made you want to be an actor?
 

Since my first show with my local stage school at the age of three, I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life. It just made sense.

 
What kind of actor do you aspire to be?
 

I aspire to be the kind of actor who is known for their hard work and commitment. I want to always bring an authenticity to the roles I take on while maintaining an element of child-like play during performances.

 
Who in the industry would you like to work with?
 

I would love to work with either Andrew Scott or Meryl Streep. I know I would have so much to learn from them both and I’ve always admired their work.

 
What films, shows or books are currently inspiring you?
 
I found Adolescence really inspiring. The show is so technically challenging. To be able to execute advanced one shot takes and give an outstanding performance at the same time is something I’m in awe of.
