New Year, new diary, new challenges...LETS GO!!

As the New Year celebrations are beginnning, 2014's diary becomes obsolete and in its place sits a shiny new 2015 diary...How exciting I think to myself! However, as I turn the pages and think of how 'long' this next year will be, I realise that in actual fact I can plot all the way through to this time next year just bouncing date to date...

January: Deadline for Module one

January - Mid February: Additional coaching for students each Sunday in preparation for ISTD Tap and Modern exam session.

February 14th: ISTD Exam date

Mid February - May: Module two

June: GCSE Maths examinations

June - July: Additional coachiong for students each Sunday in preparation for ISTD Tap and Modern exam session.

End of July: ISTD Examination (date tbc)

Summer Holidays: Planning and preparing for another school year.

September: Module three

October - December: Applying to Universities/schools onto PGCE/SCITT courses.

Wow...so here is my year ahead and as scary as sitting here looking at it like this is right now, a New Year comes as a fresh start allowing room for development and improvement. 2015 will be a huge year overall, but taking baby steps I feel confident I can achieve all I plan to!

Welcome to my life...

'We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things, because we're curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths' - Walter Elias Disney.

This is one of my all time favourite quotes and opitomises how I live my life, whether in work or play, I always seek out and create new opportunities to push myself further and discover new adventures.

I trained from a very young age in all aspects of performing arts at a local theatre school, followed then by completing a BTEC in Performing Arts; Musical Theatre in my hometown. From here I gained a place at Italia Conti and trained up until the age of twenty one in Musical Theatre, whilst at the same time completing ISTD teacher training qualifications.

Although I had always thought I wanted to perform after graduation, during my time training I was offered the opportunity to work at a childrens theatre school teaching dance, drama and musical theatre. I absolutely loved it and found I excelled as a teacher, so much so that upon graduating, I was presented with the 'Most Promising Teacher' accolade.

After graduation, I continued to teach at the theatre school and felt happy in my role, although watching many of my peers fullfilling performing contracts I now considered that I was missing out. I auditoned for a pantomime six months after graduation and was offered the lead in Cinderella for a Christmas contract. From here I continued auditioning and luckily walked from one contract to the next for four consecutive years, working for companies such as Merlin, TED UK and my dream company Disney. These contracts were for a variety of roles from singer/dancer to actress to host/presenter and even the odd skin character for good measure. These contracts allowed me the freedom to travel to many countries including the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico and the USA and meet some amazing people with incredible stories.

At the end of two years of travelling I decided I wanted to have a base again moved back to London to head back in to teaching, now adorned with a wealth of professional industry experience and knowledge to better my teaching.

And that brings us up to present day, where I am currently combining single day performance event jobs with teaching after school and weekends. Right now I am focussing on my teaching career, hopefully gaining a full BA Degree qualification and completing a PGCE afterwards, but who is to say what is waiting behind the next door?
