I came to Tring Park when I was 16. Although I had been involved in my local theatre school for ages, Tring Park was so different to anything I had known before. The chance to be around other students who were all as passionate as I was about performing was inspiring. I got the chance to try all forms of my art – classical singing, Musical Theatre and theatre itself. The two years I spent there were very formative in the the career I have now. When I performed in my concert at Cadogan Hall, I was so thrilled to be able to do it with students from the school. I felt like I was passing the baton – repaying the training that Tring Park had given me. I see all the amazing people that have started their careers at Tring Park and I feel honoured to be amongst them.
