Age: 20

Where are you from? Italy originally, but I live in Birmingham for my studies.

I am currently… in my second year at university studying a BA (Hons) in Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of Birmingham.

I am on the Creative Pathways programme because… I want to learn as much as I can about what happens behind the scenes of such a big organisation. The more I find out about backstage careers, the more I am fascinated and intrigued by this side of live performance, and I realise that this side of the arts world can be just as exciting as performing.

What are you passionate about? I have a huge passion for the live entertainment industry, and I would love to work in the arts in the future. I am also passionate about things like acting, reading, art, food, travelling and lots of other stuff!

An interesting fact about me is... I guess an interesting fact about me is that despite being raised my whole life in Italy I am fully bilingual (thanks Mum!).

My first encounter with Birmingham Royal Ballet was… when I came to see the Nutcracker last year as one of my first shows in Birmingham.
