Izabel Alvares Florence

 

 

Having a strong background in Acting, I work effectively with others. I am highly organised, creative and confident, and I value professionalism, time keeping and respect. I also have a good knowledge when it comes to community and physical theatre, and am always willing to learn and eager to master new skills. I can lead workshops, and having moved alone from my country at the age of 18, I acquired great independence.
