About Me:
Raised between Derbyshire and Yorkshire and now based in Sheffield, I’ve undoubtedly been positively shaped by a decade living in Stockholm and travelling widely across Europe. Having a Nordic look and being from the north of England I’ve often joked that I’ve felt like a reverse Viking rediscovering the homeland of his people! I’ve always seemed to have a curiosity for people, places, culture, nature, storytelling and self-expression.

While living in Sweden, I initially explored teaching before following a more creative path, building a successful YouTube channel based on the creation of my own audiobooks. Growing a community of over 70,000 subscribers and reaching millions of views has been an incredibly rewarding experience, one which I’m very grateful for. It’s taught me discipline, creativity, and how to connect with an audience in a genuine and engaging way, while building self-confidence and a sense of fulfillment. Behind the microphone; through narration, voice-acting and livestreaming, I’ve learned how subtle expression, tone, mood, and presence can shape a story, especially when complimented by astute editing and graphic design. All this has developed skills and a creative appreciation that I’m excited to transfer into the world of modelling and media.

My academic background is in Geography at university level, which alongside a long-standing interest in History and Literature seemed to complement my natural interests. Alongside this, I’ve had a lifelong thirst for sports, outdoor pursuits, functional fitness, and healthy living, which I’m developing by currently studying personal training. I’m keen to explore how this can connect with modelling opportunities, particularly within fitness, lifestyle, and activewear.

After years working primarily in a digital space, returning to the UK has inspired me to seek more collaborative, face-to-face creative experiences. Modelling feels like a natural next step: a way to combine storytelling, expression, and visual artistry while working with passionate and inspirational people. I have a strong interest in the performing arts, as well as film and cinematography, and photography. Unsurprisingly, I’m particularly drawn to projects that have a bold creative vision or that tell a story to engage an audience.

I’m enthusiastic, conscientious, and always open to new challenges – I endeavour to bring focused energy and professionalism to every shoot.
