What is your first memory of Siamsa as a Child?
I remember auditioning for the first time when I was seven and they played two notes on the piano and then played them together - I responded by saying 'I can't sing two notes at the same time'.
What was your favourite part to play in any show and why?
'The Lover' in 'Oiléan'. I just really like the character and the acting side of that particular part.
What is your guilty snack pleasure?
Pizza
Describe yourself in three words.
Dedicated - Friendly - Happy
What if anything is the best thing that has happened to you since joining Siamsa?
Being part of a close knit community and being part of a 'family'.
