Professional

I am a dance and drama facilitator and a versatile creative professional with a rich background in dance, drama, and voiceover work. As an actress, I have gained extensive experience in both theatre and film, bringing characters to life on stage and screen through improvisation, physical theatre, and both comedic and dramatic roles. Additionally, I have lent my voice to various projects, honing my skills in voiceover work.
I am deeply passionate about empowering the Black community by fostering confidence, cultural connection, and self-esteem through the transformative power of dance and drama. I work with Caribbean Folk and its African rentention, as well as music, movement, dance, and drama from the African Diaspora.

Throughout my career, I've been a Choreographer, Movement Director, Actor, and Director for theatre productions in Toronto and London. I have choreographed /been a movement director and have directed music videos, stage productions, and events, crafting pieces to enhance storytelling and visual impact.
I'm also the proud founder of Oops Baby Productions, my own production company where I have directed, acted, and produced. Alongside these endeavors, I've devoted myself to education, serving as a dance and drama facilitator for various initiatives. I've had the privilege of teaching individuals of all ages and abilities, using dance and drama as effective teaching tools and forms of therapy. Notably, my commitment to nurturing talent is reflected in achieving a remarkable 98% pass rate for students auditioning for performing arts schools, and successful candidates securing roles in theatre and film through auditions.
