“I absolutely love working in this industry and sharing my knowledge and experience with the younger generation. It gives me huge satisfaction and joy to watch a young person’s confidence and understanding grow and thrive. Being a mother of two children myself, I fully understand what it is to be a parent, and aim to give children a happy and fun experience in learning to perform. I believe that the best teachers are those with a passion for what they do, and who recognise and fulfil the individual needs of each child.”
