Biography
BOVTS: Vernon/Police Officer/York Soldier in Henry VI: Days of Rebellion, W in Lungs, Helena in All’s Well the Ends Well, Masha in The Seagull.

As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor.
