Ellie Smith

I am dedicated full time student at LMA, Liverpool studying a BA Hons in Acting and Performance in my third year. Throughout my childhood I have always had a passion for performing, which has made me into the person I am today. I am a determined, dedicated, and enthusiastic person, with a love for all things creative and people, putting my all into everything I partake in. I am an independent person that strives to be better everyday.
