Maider Uranga

I’m originally from San Sebastián, Spain, and moved to the UK at 18 to improve my English starting a new chapter in Portsmouth, where I worked as a healthcare assistant and support worker for a year. That experience taught me resilience, empathy, and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, qualities I bring to every role I take on. A year later, I moved to Sheffield to pursue my Bachelor’s degree in Arts with Honours, specializing in Film and TV Production. During my studies, I developed a deep passion for storytelling, from behind-the-scenes production to understanding the nuances of performance on screen. During those years up until now I have worked and HCS a d SP, a d have gained hospitality and retail experience. Last September, I relocated to Glasgow, and I’ve quickly fallen in love with the city’s vibrant culture and creative community. I’m eager to immerse myself in acting opportunities, whether as an extra or in more visible roles, and to continue exploring the ways I can contribute to the energy and authenticity of any production. I speak native Spanish, native Basque, and fluent English. I have a lifelong passion for the arts , I took from theatre classes as a teen and always have done plastic arts like , painting and sculpting. When it comes to sports I did competitive rowing football and basketball as a teen. I also enjoy dance, with intermediate skills in salsa and bachata, and a love for all kinds of movement. In addition, I’m skilled in crochet and knitting, cooking, and performance arts such as poi spinning and fire spinning.
