PQA Harlow.

Amelie Pownall

Claire Seel

From the age of three, I was a dancer and took part in dance festivals and championships all over the North West. From the age of eleven, I joined amateur dramatic societies and performed in shows ranging from musicals to Operas, compilation and revue shows. I also performed in professional pantomimes at the Albert Halls in Bolton securing the role of Dance Captain on several occasions. These experiences developed my confidence and personality as well as my stage presence. On leaving high school I have worked at several companies, working very hard to climb the corporate ladder gaining experience and promotions along the way. Three years ago, I became a Mum and have enjoyed my time at home with my little girl. I am now a qualified Teaching Assistant and am continuing my studies at Bury College whilst also working at Greenhill Primary School. I am absolutely thrilled to join the PQA Bury team as Poppets Assistant and Vice Principal and I am so looking forward to moulding our stars of the future through PQA Bury!

I'm super excited to be a part of the PQA team! I am a qualified primary school teacher and have a degree in Drama, Dance and Music. I love to travel and want to see as many different places as I can! I have loved Performing Arts from a young age and have been part of numerous shows both on and backstage. I have written and directed several panto style shows for my school which is so much fun! My passion has passed onto my son who is an actor, so I have gained lots of experience of coaching him for auditions and roles. I am really looking forward to working with everyone and helping the children develop their skills!

Since childhood, I've always wanted to create videos and work in television, a passion that has shaped my entire career, working on programmes like I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, Love Island and Homes Under the Hammer. I also run my own video production company called Bellyflop TV. One of my first ever jobs was as a children's party host at McDonalds, and now, as a dad myself, I find great joy in helping young people reach their full potential and learn new things. Teaching film and television at the Pauline Quirke Academy is the perfect opportunity for me to continue doing what I love.
