In the least cheesy way possible…I like to make people smile. I have the type of personality where I am always performing in front of people, even as myself, so drama seemed a good subject for me. I have always been fascinated with bringing a character to life on stage and telling the stories of others. As I have gotten older, I have established a love for directing that has over taken my love for performing.
As a drama student I have had many opportunities to be a part of some great productions. The one role that stands out most for me is when I was assistant director for Much Ado about Nothing, in Shakespeare week, at the University of Lincoln. I was able to learn so much about directing through watching the director of the piece, whilst also gaining valuable experience by directing some of the scenes myself.
Being an adult, for me, is all about living your life. When I was a child my parents guided me from decision to decision and I was so grateful for that. However, when you are an adult, it is all about making your own decisions. It is exciting and, at times, daunting but being free to be yourself is the best feeling. Just because you are an adult it doesn’t mean you have to stop being you! Live. Laugh. Love.
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be” Ralph Waldo Emerson
