I am a Kenyan-born, LAMDA-trained actor and writer bringing powerful, global stories to the stage and screen. My performance work is deeply informed by a strong classical training, allowing me to shine in high-stakes narratives as fierce matriarchs and high-status women—balanced by a playful side that celebrates the joyful child within.
This instinct stems directly from my upbringing in Kenya, sharing stories late into the night over buckets of tea. That early immersion in oral tradition deepened during my LAMDA training, where my passion for performance naturally expanded into writing. Today, my writing celebrates purpose-driven women, blending intense drama with everyday humour to capture a cultural truth: finding laughter even in our darkest moments.
My debut solo show, Sacrifice—inspired by a mother’s true fight against child marriage—premiered at the 2023 VAULT Festival and won the Origins Award for Outstanding New Work. I subsequently wrote Forgotten, a short play exploring life's unresolved issues, which was selected and staged for Theatre503's Rapid Write Response.
My slate continues to grow. Both Sacrifice and Forgotten have been adapted into TV pilot scripts ready for development, as I actively outline a third original project.
