I studied drama from a young age and undertook a number of LAMDA examinations including the ALAM where I obtained a diploma in 1997 which qualified me to teach drama privately. I also have a BA Hons degree in performing Arts (2003). I have previous experience working with children and adults in all areas of drama. With my own children at school age, in January 2017 I decided to set up my own little company Acting Up!, where I work as a freelance drama teacher covering a number of ages and demographics. I hold a valid enhanced disclosure (DBS) which enables me to work with children and I have up to date First Aid and Safeguarding Training.
