A bit about me -  

 

I studied martial arts for 4 years obtaining a brown belt in Karate and won various medals in competitions across the UK. I am certainly no stranger to pressure due to entering many music, dance and academic exams, competitions, festivals and auditions. So far, my success has been down to perseverance and hard work.

My character developed during my completion of the Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards as I found this to be a mentally and physically challenging experience. It was through teamwork and dedication that I was able to complete the 4 day hike across the peak district. Most recently I achieved solo flying ability in K13 glider planes. During this activity every decision could mean life or death and I think it has really helped to shape me as an independent young person who is able to mix with people of all ages and backgrounds.

In 2008 year I volunteered at the British heart foundation retail shop every week, I found this to be extremely rewarding as it allowed me to give something back to the community. I recently graduated from Italia Conti in Barbican, London where I trained in Musical Theatre. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there yet it was a lot of physical work and emotionally trying. I have learnt to channel this into dedication to my art to help me gain the best results possible.
