I am an actor, writer, dancer, and sometimes puppeteer. I like stories about pirates, magic, fairies, warriors, misfits, love, and friendship. I'm originally from Dunbar, Scotland. My mum and I moved to Southern California when I was two years old to join my dad, who had moved there for work. My dad is a physicist and my mum is a photographer. We lived in Newbury Park for eleven years, where my brother Connor was born. When I was thirteen, we moved a couple of hours south to North San Diego County. I went to high school at San Dieguito Academy and graduated in 2019.
I had a gap year in which I travelled around the UK and some of Europe- although this was 2020 so it was cut short when all the borders closed because of Covid. I was accepted that year into Cours Florent - a drama school in Paris, France. I worked on my French that summer and by the time I moved over I could just about understand simple sentences and read young adult books. I took a French class there and by the end of my first year I was pretty much fluent. In my second year there, I took a French Acting course.
Now that I live in Glasgow, I still keep reading French books and plays, and speak it when I can, because I would like to work in France as well as the UK. The summer after graduation from Cours Florent, a group of my course mates and I took a play that I'd written for a travail fin d'études (end of year project) to the Edinburgh Fringe, and I was accepted onto the Masters Classical and Contemporary Text (Acting) Course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. I've been in Glasgow for a little while now and I really like it here. Since I finished my course I've been working on short films and a children's theatre puppetry piece.
