My PQA Journey began when I was 9 years old. I attended PQA Coventry for 6 years and it moulded me into the actor I’ve become today. Being at PQA ignited a passion inside me and formed as an amazing stepping stone into the industry for me. After being a student I because a TA for a further 2 years at PQA Coventry and PQA Nuneaton & Hinckley giving me the foundation to be able to teach aspiring actors the same that was taught to me. Outside of PQA I have been focusing on my acting career diving into the film and tv industry for the last 6 years.
