At the age of seven I was taken to see my first musical with my family- The Lion King. I loved the singing, dancing, costumes and above all how the production brought to life the story! During my childhood trips to the theatre and the West End I began to develop my passion for the arts. I wanted nothing else than to be a part of the big productions and I dreamed that one day I could be on the stage.
In 2011, I was privileged to be offered a voluntary placement where I worked under the close supervision of the General theatre Manager at The Queens Theatre London. I worked in the auditorium, the box office, lighting and stage management departments. Studying drama at the University of Lincoln has enabled me to explore the departments and the industry thoroughly.
I believe when you are an adult, it isn’t because you are told you are an adult. But it is when you feel ready to be an independent individual, be responsible, and accepting of others in your society. You realise you are too tall to ride a donkey at the seaside and you won’t fit in the swing at your old park. When you are an adult you just want to be a child again and have everything as easy as it was back then.
“Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.” J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan.
