      Training:


  • I played many parts in amateur staged materials such as "Oklahoma", "Calamity Jane" "Papa Panov"
  • Recently I have done three courses, two in The renowned Gaiety School of Acting in Temple Bar Dublin 2, "Introduction into Drama" (I performed a 3 minute improvised monologue) and "Page to Stage" (I performed as part of a group as the leading role in "The Playboy of the Western World").
  • I also done a course in Television Presenting with The Irish Academy of Public Relations based in Blackrock. I have completed a ten week course in Filmbase, Temple Bar Dublin 2, where I studied acting for TV and Film.
  • While I was in college I went on a j1 visa to Hollywood, USA. It was overwhelming, When I was out there I built up some contacts with agencies that deal with the world famous Warner Brothers. For example I went for an audition for "One Tree Hill". I managed to get extra work on such shows as "Comics Unleashed" Paramount Studios. "The Late Late Show"(the episode featured Sinead O�Connor) and "Don�t Forget the Lyrics" CBS studios, LA.
  • I have done acting work on such productions here in Ireland as "Fair City", "The Clinic", two films "Gently's Last Case" and "No laughing matter� and more recently �Idir Mna� (TG4). This must be the Place (Sean Penn), Night fight scene (short).I am currently studying Performing Arts In Sligo IT. In Sligo, I performed in The Ancient Mariner directed by Bernie Meehan and took part in culture night dressed as a Butterfly.
