Meet our Principal
Hi, I’m Louise, Principal of Drama Kids Monmouthshire & Newport. Originally from Yarm in the North East, I’ve lived in Cardiff for 14 years with my Welsh husband and our two children. Before becoming Principal, I taught for the Academy (formerly Helen O’Grady Drama Academy) for 7 years — and I’ve now proudly been Principal for 3! A whole decade of teaching drama and enriching young people through our amazing curriculum truly is the most rewarding job ever. Growing up, I often lacked confidence but loved being creative, and seeing my students grow, express themselves, and find their voice reminds me every day why I love what I do.
