My passion for the performing arts began, aged 5 when I started taking dance lessons, and I soon realised that this was to be my vocational path.

During my school years, I was a regular at the Cambridge dance festival and performed annually at Bury St Edmunds Theatre Royal in the Christmas pantomime as part of the junior dance cast. Upon leaving school, I spent three years at the prestigious ‘Laine Theatre Arts’ in Surrey where I received exceptional training in all aspects of the performing arts. After graduating, I spent the next fifteen years based in London working as a professional performer.

My theatre credits include No 1 UK tours of 'A Chorus Line' and ‘Grease’, a European tour of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’, London runs of ‘The Tempest’ & ‘The Green Parakeet’ also ‘The Entertainer’ & ‘Hamlet’ at Norwich Playhouse. Television appearances include two series of 'The Brian Conley Show' (including an appearance on ‘The Royal Variety Show’) over 40 appearances as a recurring character in C4’s 'Brookside' and as a ‘featured artist’ in a number of commercials.

My teaching career began as founder and principal of The Arts Academy, a dance and drama school for students aged 3 - 16 years, teaching over 150 pupils weekly drama and dance classes along with producing, choreographing and directing annual productions.

I have also been co-director of a theatrical agency, representing children and adults in all aspects of the entertainment industry.
