First TV Role!



Hey guys,

I got some great news today! I have just been offered a role for an upcoming Irish TV Pilot called Darker Days.
I am so happy to announce that I will be playing the role of Jenny in the pilot for the series, which will be shot in Galway.

Rehersals begin this January and the pilot will be filmed in March.
Very excited, and can't wait to get started!

Audition Today!



Hey World,

So I drove to Belfast today to audition for an upcoming BFI Short (I won't give too much information away about this film). 

I was sent the script two days before and had to prepare for two roles, the lead female character and a minor character that has a great scene with a well-known Irish actor.

When I got there I was asked to read for the part of the minor female, I had put a lot of energy and emotion into the lead so I was a bit put off at first, but I love the complexity of the minor character also.

The audition was filmed and the Director told me I was 'great' and that he was 'really happy' with how it went.

That was really nice to hear as it was my first movie audition in a long time. Fingers crossed I will hear something, whether it's a yes or a no.
