I am a Kenyan-born, LAMDA-trained actor and writer dedicated to bringing powerful, global narratives to the forefront. As a performer, I bring classical rigor and contemporary grit to high-stakes narratives, shining as fierce matriarchs and high-status women—balanced by a lighter, playful side that celebrates the joyful, unapologetic child within.
My instinct for anchoring these stories stems directly from my upbringing in Kenya, where the best part of the day was staying up late sharing stories over buckets of tea. That early immersion in oral tradition gave me a foundational understanding of character, which deepened during my training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). It was there that my passion for performance naturally expanded into writing.
My writing celebrates purpose-driven women, blending intense drama with everyday humour to capture the cultural truth of my upbringing: finding laughter even in our darkest moments.
My LAMDA thesis evolved into a full solo show, Sacrifice—inspired by a true story of a mother’s courage and fight against child marriage. I wrote, produced, and performed the piece, which premiered at the 2023 VAULT Festival and won the ORIGINS AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING NEW WORK.
And then came Forgotten, a piece exploring the snowball effect of life's unresolved issues in our final days, which was staged at Theatre503's Rapid Write Response.
Today, my slate continues to grow. Both Sacrifice and Forgotten have been adapted into fully realized pilot scripts ready for the next steps, and I am actively outlining a third original project to continue building my portfolio.
