    I’m the only female in the class but I didn’t let this stop me from pursuing something out of my comfort zone. Tiling is a very creative trade so I curbed my hesitations by leaning on my background in Fine Art. This has helped me see things in a way others may not.

    I played the part of Jesus in the college’s 2024 production of Superstar Live. The audition was intense, but I had a feeling I got the part as I had the right physical look. It was such a brilliant experience performing in front of a live audience!
