Kirsty is a 26 year old performing arts student based in Edinburgh. She has always had a strong passion for the performing arts and upon leaving school, was awarded a scholarship into Perth Amateur Operatic Society (PAOS) via audition. During her time at PAOS she improved her performing skills and took on numerous roles, making a strong name for herself.
While performing was a great passion however, Kirsty was not sure it was the career path she wanted to follow and instead took the pathway of Primary Teaching at the University of Dundee. After three years teaching, she realised that even though she had a love for teaching, her true passion lay within the Performing Arts. She went on to study a HND in Musical Theatre at Perth College UHI which lead her to consider a career in combining her two loves, teaching and performing; the next adventure.
While Kirsty would consider performing again, she is very excited to take on more responsibility in the future through directing and creating shows, and cannot wait to see what the future may bring for her career in the industry.
