Musical Theatre

I’m a Musical Theatre student currently training at university, and I honestly love what I do. Performing has always been a huge part of my life, so being able to study it properly and grow as an artist has been an incredible experience.

I’m the first in my family to go to university, which makes this journey feel really special to me. It’s been exciting, challenging at times, but mostly just full of opportunities to do what I love every day and keep improving.

One of the best parts of my training has been the people. I’ve been lucky to work with really talented classmates and supportive teachers who’ve pushed me and helped me grow in confidence. I’ve also made some amazing friendships along the way, which has made the whole experience even more meaningful.

During my time at university, I’ve performed in a range of projects, including playing Cinderella in a pantomime, Maid Marian in Robin Hood, and appearing in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I’ve also worked on plays, short films, and some professional paid work through university opportunities.

My work throughout my training spans a wide range of performance styles, including musical theatre, screen acting, immersive experiences, dance, modelling, and live events. I enjoy exploring different forms of storytelling and challenging myself across a variety of genres and environments.

In musical theatre and live performance, I have appeared in productions such as Cinderella (Cinderella pantomime), Robin Hood (as Maid Marian), and Urinetown the Musical, as well as performing at the Corn Exchange 150th Anniversary event. I will also be performing in Smile the Musical for my final university production.

On screen, I have taken on leading and supporting roles in several short films, including Daedalus (as the protagonist), Shrug Him Off, and Clara and Arjun, as well as working on a documentary-style project and a spoof-style comedy piece. I have also appeared in commercial and promotional work, including a Halloween advert.

Alongside this, I have worked in immersive theatre (Love Bomb Immersive), dance projects such as Aerogroove, modelling for Beyond the Label on the catwalk, and performed at the Children with Cancer Gala.

These experiences have helped me develop versatility, confidence, and adaptability as a performer across multiple disciplines.
