About Me

Hi! My name is Danii and I'm a neurodiverse Actor and freelance LAMDA/Drama Teacher based in Lancashire. I graduated from LJMU in 2017 and have been working for various companies since this time such as Stagecoach Performing Arts and Little Voices in a variety of different roles. I have been guiding students through their LAMDA exams for over four years now, with 100% of my students receiving a Merit or above, and 80% receiving a Distinction. I mainly focus on Introductory, Acting and Musical Theatre exams from Entry Level all the way through to Grade 8. As well as teaching, I'm a passionate performer and pursue acting in my free time, always wanting to further develop my skills so I can be the best teacher to my students.
