Where did you go from Burnham Grammar School? 

Kingston University to study BA Hons in Dance, graduating with a first class in 2016. Upon graduation, I became a freelance choreographer and dance teacher for various dance schools, universities and companies whilst doing a year long events internship. I then stepped into the talent management world, first within a musical theatre agency and then moving into a commercial dance agency

Best Memory of Burnham Grammar School? 

Naturally this is the annual BGS Dance Show. It was my favourite time of year and I participated every year from Year 7 all the way through to Year 13. 

Advice for Current Students? 

If you have a passion or love for something, keep going with it and don't be put off by thinking how it could become a career or what you'll do with it in the future. Year 7 me could never have imagined I'd become Head of Talent at one of the top dance agencies in London, booking the best dancers and creatives on artist world tours, movies and more.
