Ellen Kearns
Hi, my name is Ellen!
I discovered an instant love for acting from age eight when I played different characters and roles in school shows, assemblies and our local cross-community drama group. It’s a great feeling being able to gain such enjoyment from something in life. I truly hope that with hard work and fiery red headed determination I will achieve my desired goal of becoming a successful actor.
When I’m not at drama I enjoy playing sport, singing, creating art, photography, film making and spending time with my friends or my four little sisters.
