Education above all things
“The kids have loved Asha’s programme. It has been one of the best workshops I have seen, and I will definitely be booking her again.”

PROUD MOMENTS
WHAT I DO
I deliver drama and music classes for professionals and just for fun, across all ages.
I facilitate workshops using drama and music to build confidence and encourage creativity.
I write arts programs tailored to meet specific curriculum requirements and extend participants beyond them.
I consult on academic programmes as an arts specialist and I train other educators on how to use the arts to inspire learning.
I have an MA Acting from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and a BA Political Science & International Relations from the University of Western Australia/Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
I am an advocate for arts education, cultural exchange and the creative process!
