Sophie is particularly comfortable playing physically skilful roles due to her initial training as a classical and contemporary dancer at Elmhurst Ballet School. She uses these skills to bring the characters that she plays, to life, particularly for motion capture, physically challenging roles and on stage. She has a unique look with strong features, high cheek bones and long thin limbs. Her look enables her to look both frail and strong!

Beyond her dance training and private acting tutelage with Ian Cullen (LAMDA) & Yvonne Cullen (Guildhall), she continued her Musical Theatre studies at The London School of Musical Theatre where she became particularly passionate about new musical theatre writing. She is also an accomplished pianist with ABRSM Grade 8 distinction, ABRSM Performance Diploma and an LRSM Performance Diploma. Other musical instruments include Grade 8 Violin, Beginner Accordion and Beginner Alto Sax.
She teaches piano, singing and music theory alongside working as an accompanist, musical director, arranger and music producer with her own home recording studio facility.


She speaks both English with native RP accent and French as a native. She also speaks Spanish (A Level) and understands Italian to a good standard.

Sophie regularly attends Manuel Puro Casting Director Self-tape short courses, Mel Churcher acting training and a member of the Presence Theatre Reading Group.

​​Unfortunately, due to a severe adverse reaction to her first Moderna Covid vaccine, it has been recommended by 4 consultants to not have further Covid vaccines. In the meantime she follows strict Covid guidelines to enable her to continue working safely in the Performance Industry. Sophie was born with Cystic Fibrosis, but has led a very normal life since the age of 18. 
She hasn't missed a day of performing!
