I currently train at the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School, where I study singing, dancing, and acting to develop as a confident and versatile performer. Alongside my training, I have gained professional experience performing with the Bull Theatre, where I have taken on leading roles in pantomimes and productions for both the public and local schools, as well as in charity performances. I also enjoy using my skills to give back to the community, performing regularly at Barnet Church and Hospital for charitable events. Additionally, I represent my school as part of the School Choir, which has further strengthened my teamwork, vocal ability, and stage presence. From a young age, performing has been the place where I feel most alive. Whether I am acting, singing, or dancing, the stage has always felt like home. I have always been fascinated by how performance can connect people and tell stories that words alone cannot, and I am driven to keep exploring that through my training and experiences.

Alongside my full-time School Commitments, I attend the Guildhall Junior Drama School weekly and have previously trained with Stagebox, which helped me strengthen my musical theatre and screen acting skills. The Stagebox Company's Annual Project, which is posted on YouTube and seen by millions. I have achieved distinctions in my LAMDA Acting Grades 5 and 6, as well as ABRSM Singing Grades 1–5 and Piano Grades 1 and 2. I am now working towards Grade 6 Singing, Grade 5 Music Theory, Grade 3 Piano, Trinity Musical Theatre Grade 8, and LAMDA Grade 8 Acting. My experience on stage and screen has taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork, and emotional honesty in performance. From appearing in Cunning Little Vixen with Hampstead Garden Opera to working on commercials and film sets with Amazon Prime, Boots, Vodafone, Chessington World of Adventures, and more, I have learned to adapt quickly, stay professional, and always bring energy and curiosity to every role. Musical theatre has truly changed my life. It is my hope, my passion, and that drives me every day. I do not see myself doing anything else. Performing gives me a sense of purpose and connection that nothing else does, and I am determined to keep growing and sharing that through my training and experiences. I am now ready to take the next step in my training and work hard as a performer.
