MY BACKGROUND
Currently I coach from my home studio right next to the stunning Peak District in Scholes, Holmfirth. I also coach at SLP Dance and Drama College in Leeds.
I read Drama and Theatre Studies at Hull University, and then furthered my study in Acting at The Poor School, London. Vocally, I studied under the tutelage of Sarah Rhodes GSMD, AGSM and Claire Davidson LAMDA. I have been lucky to have had a rather varied career in Plays, Shakespeare, Musicals and Opera. A selection of my credits are listed below.
