About me

I'm a hard-working professional actor, dancer and campaigner; acting is my greatest passion in life as I do like making people feel their emotions. I'm most proud of becoming an Ambassador for Mencap, being on Line of Duty & becoming an Honorary Doctor of the Arts. I want to show people what we are capable of.

Myth to bust: People with learning disabilities cannot do things in life; I want to get rid of those labels.
