About Me

I am fun loving confident communicator with bags of energy, looking younger than my years and I think I would be an excellent candidate for this industry.

Since April 2011 I have been working as a full time singer performer and running my dressmaking and costume making business.

I am married with three children, 2 teenagers and 1 in his twenties so can be available at short notice and I am willing to travel.

I have experience a diverse life to date so I am able to relate to a wide range of people. I am hard working, determind and will not stop until the job is done.
