About Me
Performing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began dancing at just three years old and started training in Ballroom and Latin at seven, competing across Wales. At 13, I joined Carmarthen Youth Opera, which marked the beginning of my musical theatre journey, and by 17 I had landed my first lead role as Grandma in The Addams Family.
After studying Performing Arts in college, I went on to train professionally in Musical Theatre at drama school, graduating with a degree in the field. During this time I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to dance behind the Black Eyed Peas during their UEFA cup opening ceremony in 2017 which was one hell of an experience.
Returning to Pembrokeshire after uni, I began gigging professionally with a local band before eventually making the move to London to pursue my dream of becoming a full-time performer.
My time in London became far more than a career journey, it became a journey of survival, self-discovery and resilience. Between the impact of Covid and struggles with my mental health, I lost much of the confidence that had always defined me as a performer. I began working as a TA in schools around London but as each day past I felt all ounces of creativity leave my body and I was deeply unfulfilled. Finding the strength to sing (and dance) again was difficult, but one thing that took a lot of courage was taking myself to Southbank to begin busking.
That decision changed everything. The universe really had my back here because after my very first busking experience, I was noticed by a musician and composer [Soumik Datta] who invited me to audition for an artistic residency at the Southbank Centre. It was an incredible opportunity that helped me reconnect with myself creatively and personally. Working alongside such inspiring and talented musicians (including performers who had toured with artists such as George Ezra) reignited my confidence and reminded me exactly why I had moved to London in the first place.
Although the years that followed still came with challenges, I continued to grow both personally and professionally, performing at corporate events and trying to develop my craft through every opportunity that came my way, including setting up my own dance classes specialising in heels and commercial dance for beginners. (it didn't last long as these things take time to evolve and I was too skint to try and pay off the room hire, but alas.. I tried haha).
In 2023, I began working at Archer Street Bars as a singing waitress, an experience that brought so much joy, energy, and confidence back into my life. Performing in such a vibrant and supportive environment helped rebuild not only my stage confidence, but also my social confidence after some incredibly difficult years. In many ways, it gave me my life back. I met some amazing people during that time, many of whom have since gone on to become successful West End performers, and being surrounded by such talent and passion reignited my own belief in myself and my abilities as an artist.
In 2024, I met my partner, and in 2025 I made the decision to move back to Wales to continue both my healing and performing journey closer to home. Today, I’m thriving. I work with the incredible team at The Performance Factory stage school in South West Wales inspiring and nurturing young performers while collaborating with talented creatives to produce exciting shows. Alongside teaching, I continue to gig professionally across Wales doing what I love most, performing and connecting with people through music.
My journey hasn’t been straightforward, but it has taught me something incredibly important: never give up on yourself. Life has a way of working itself out, even through the most turbulent chapters. With resilience, belief, and passion, you can rediscover yourself, achieve your dreams, and create a life that feels truly meaningful.
