Biography

I remember the first time I wanted to do Musical theatre. I was 7, and I just finished my beginners ballet class at my dance school, which I still attend now ( The Leicester Dance Company), and I was so in awe of the performance they was doing, and I just wanted to be there!Now having the opportunity to perform, on a stage every year, I feel so incredibly grateful!!In 2018 I got to perform on stage at the Birmingham Hippodrome with my dance school, and it was amazing. Seeing everyone enjoy watching you dance is the best feeling in the world. Due to the experience being incredible, we did it again the following year. To this day those days are something I will always be grateful for.I have been given the opportunity to do this all again in October with my dance school. This may be the last time I can before I hope to go to drama school in September 2025. That's why I am so incredibly grateful that JHMT have helped me so I am able to experience more and help my journey continue.
I currently study at Leicester college in Musical theatre, and i am hoping to continue on to drama school in 2025. When I was auditioning, I got into a few other colleges offering the course that u wanted to do but due to financial situations I couldn't go! But I hope that i will still go to my dream drama school!
