Hi, I’m Rachel, and my journey from stage to classroom has always been guided by a love of drama and education. I trained at Stagecoach, Italia Conti, and ArtsEd, before completing a Drama degree at Roehampton and a PGCE in Primary Teaching. I’ve spent over a decade in education, alongside stage work including Othello with By Jove Theatre and media roles with the BBC and Reprezent Radio. My classes are a space where young imaginations thrive, and as a proud mum of two, I know just how powerful drama can be for building confidence, creativity and joy.

“Drama shaped who I am, now I get to use it to help children discover who they can be.”
