creeds and cultures, whilst being able to pursue my ambition and passion in the
performing arts, in particular acting, presenting and writing. On graduation I was
scouted as a model and my success in this industry has enabled me to travel world-wide
and pursue these ambitions. I have also been a seasonal crew member on a private yacht around the Mediterranean,
documenting the remains of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
I have taught English, drama, sports and circus skills to children globally from
Atlanta, U.S.A to Calcutta, India. I collaborated in a permaculture programme in Byron
Bay, Australia, and wrote my first collection of short stories, ‘How to make it with
Women’ as a Film Director’ on the island of Tavewa in Fiji.
As a student I had a part-time job in a juggling shop (‘Mushy Pea’), teaching a wide
range of people ( from toddlers to the disabled) to juggle and learn basic circus skills-I
can juggle 5 balls and fire. Interests: As seen above, I am passionate about all aspects of performing arts, travel, anthropology and adventure. I am also a keen sports woman, especially running (won the Sicilian half-marathon November 1999), swimming, tennis and yoga. I love to dance and am also a member of the Musicians Union.
