My passion for performing started at age 4. I joined my very first ballet class when I was just 3 years old. I loved it so much and I decided to keep going and I stayed in ballet for many years. Over the years, I took part in ballet exams and I also took part in my dance school's annual showcases. I took part in my first showcase at 4 years old which is where I realised that I loved to perform and make people happy. At the age of 6, my parents decided to put me in gymnastics as well as dance to help me to improve my skills and to give me more performance opportunities. In my gymnastics, I have performed every year in their annual Christmas show and I normally do several routines in this. At the age of 7, I decided to join the rest of my family doing our local amateur dramatic societies pantomimes yearly and I performed as a junior dancer in the panto Mother Goose. I did panto's for many years as a junior dancer. I got my first lead role at the age of 10 when I played Tommy The Cat in Dick Whittington. When I was 15, I was put into singing and I found that I really enjoyed my singing as well as my dancing. I decided that I wanted to take part in a Musical Theatre course at college to improve all of my skills. In college, I was given the opportunity to play the role of Karen in the musical Mean Girls. Over the years, I have performed in many big places and have been given many opportunities. My most accomplished achievement is that I recently competed in the Blackpool Tower with my gymnastics squad where we won the award for best choreography.
