My leap into the arts

When you have a passion and you don’t follow it, through time it will make its way through the cracks of your life.

My parents were very keen that their children integrate into the local Scottish community. As I child I played the piano, the violin, the guitar,  performed drama and was in the choir.

I was jack of all trades and master of none. My parents never knew to tell me to practise so I didn’t. Sometimes having parents who push is not a bad thing. My parents just wanted me to be happy. I also played netball and was good enough to get into the girls team, I was the shortest goal keeper in Scotland.  I also played badminton and its something I still play today.

When I had the opportunity in my life to go back to my chilldhood passion in 2010 I grabbed it with both hands and so my journey back into drama rekindled. 10 years later I was writing and performing my first play Tickbox at the Edinburgh Fringe. I have never looked back.
