I graduated from Royal Holloway University of London in 1999 with a BA in Drama & Theatre Studies. Upon graduating I began working in film and television and I was very fortunate to have worked in the Locations and Assistant Director department on some of the biggest British films of the noughties including Bridget Jones’s Diary, Pride & Prejudice, RocknRolla, Atonement, Wimbledon and Harry Brown, as well as numerous TV, commercial, short films and music projects.

In 2005 I returned to university and undertook an MA at the Central School of Speech and Drama which I completed in 2006. Since then I have taught at numerous drama schools including the Central School of Speech and Drama, Drama Centre, Italia Conti, The London School of Dramatic Art and the Caravanserai.  I have coached accent and dialect on several theatrical productions including the current tour of Carrie’s War for the Novel Theatre Company.

Since retraining I have maintained strong links with film and television. Recent credits include the feature films Ninja Assassin and Lesbian Vampire Killers and ITV drama Affinity.

I have worked as a freelance dialect coach for The National Theatre’s INSET training scheme training other coaches to teach accent and dialect and have taught future voice coaches on the MA Voice studies course at Central.     

My corporate work has included clients from all sectors including personal trainers and fitness instructors, barristers, teachers and TV presenters.

I specialise in accent and dialect.
