 My first love has always been performing arts. Over the years I have cultivated my performance style and technique to get to where I am now as a dancer, actress, signsong performer and writer. I also work with children, young people and adults, offering quality tuition and coaching in all of these genres. Seeking new experiences and challenges, I also hope that my work does its best to bridge the gap between the hearing and deaf communities - using sign language through song as that bridge. Sign song is on the rise and not only is it a brilliant way to learn to sign language but it is also a wonderful channel of expression for those whose preferred language is sign. You can view my sign songs on the videos page. If you are looking for a passionate performer or an accessible arts based workshop - look no further.
