“I moved to Ealing three years ago during my training at drama school. Since then, I’ve become very fond of the borough, acting as a bridge for me between the familiarity of my hometown and the enormousnous of London.”

“I’ve found the community to be welcoming and nurturing; looking out for its neighbours and the wider world. For me, I feel very passionate with the idea that something that brings us together is the arts. Fortunately, I have found that Ealing has a great relationship with the arts, through our local theatre, cinema and galleries. I’ve even had the pleasure of being able to bring theatre to our local primary schools.”

“I believe the arts can be an absolute champion for good but it is often overlooked, disregarded, or seen as a waste of time. I hope to build on it further in our community and prove that it has a place in everyone’s lives; Not only to entertain but I believe it can create change, build inclusion, and inspire.”
