Age: 17

Where are you from? Birmingham

I am currently… exploring career options.

I am on the Creative Pathways programme because… I want to explore my options within the creative industry and also connect with like-minded individuals. The tailored individual training in specific parts of the company is something I’m excited for and the group sessions to explore the different roles within the Birmingham Royal Ballet company and see what training would benefit me best.

What are you passionate about? I’m passionate about learning from others around me to become the best possible version of myself but also seeing the impact of things I do. Being on the Creative Pathways Programme allows me not only to contribute to real projects but learn valuable lessons from those around me.

An interesting fact about me is… I enjoy collecting vinyl records and CDs. I love the physical format of music; it makes the whole listening experience that bit more enjoyable.

My first encounter with Birmingham Royal Ballet was when I encountered this programme whilst looking for something fun and creative to do in the area. I saw the programme, did a bit of research and here I am!

If you had a theme song for your life, what would it be? Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.
