About Me
Hailing from a village by Fraserburgh, I moved to Ayr in 2019 to study at the University of the West of Scotland. In 2023, I achieved a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours. Thereafter, my studies continued on UWS's Master of Research course, where I developed my knowledge of contemporary Scottish theatre through a thesis on the complex representation of masculinity, male identity and nationhood in Rona Munro's The James Plays.
As an emerging actor, I always seek to push myself further through different opportunities that thrive on collaboration. I pursue storytelling that embraces a multitude of perspectives and challenges perceptions.
Outwith acting, I enjoy fiction novels (Stephen King and Janice Hallet being particular favourites), vinyl records and just about anything science-fiction; one mention of Doctor Who can derail conversation for a few hours... you have been warned!

The Ebony Frame returns! After a sell-out run at Edinburgh Horror Festival last year, the show plays for three nights at Grimfest (17/10 - 19/10), as part of Erstwhile Media's Edith Nesbit's Ghost Stories tour. I am ecstatic to be making my off-West End debut with this spectacular team! ​ On 8th November, The Ebony Frame joins two other plays in the line up of One Dramatic Night in Edinburgh.
The second play of the Edith Nesbit's Ghost Stories tour is The Lady in White. Playing for 4 nights (23/10 - 26/10) at the Edinburgh Horror Festival, this eerie tale injects a wonderful dose of humour into the Hallowe'en season!
I am Assistant Director for Old 'n' Dead Productions' new horror, Mountains Have Rules For a Reason. It has a two night run at Grimfest (18/10 - 19/10), before transferring to the Edinburgh Horror Festival (23/10 - 26/10).
