I am a London based actor, dancer and model. I am 100% focused, passionate, dedicated and committed to everything I do, as I am an enthusiastic, energetic and outgoing person. I currently study Theatre Arts (Performance) at Middlesex University, London and I aspire to work as a professional actor/dancer in my future. I practiced Ballroom and Latin American dance at a competitive level and won more than 30 first prizes.
