Academic Skills
Literacy skills developed at high school supported my academic work and enabled me to complete coursework to a high standard as part of my degree programme. The skills have also enhanced my ability to speak to casting directors and creatives. I was part of the dance academy at LHS and this provided me with a platform to develop my fitness, technique and creativity skills.
Wider Skills
I volunteered at the Tryst Community Sports Club for many years where I developed a number of key skills, including teamwork, communication, problem solving, critical thinking and decision making. Beyond school this has enabled me to feel confident and self-assured when working as part of a cast and when entering an audition.
What advice would you give your younger self?
If I was to give my younger self some advice it would be to explore different avenues and take every opportunity accessible to me as you don't know what life is going to throw at you.
