Try not to fret too much if something doesn’t go your way, something more exciting is waiting just around the corner. I’m a strong believer in what is for you, won’t go by you. Reward yourself for your achievements and allow yourself time to rest and recuperate if you feel that you need to. Speak to everyone you meet and ask lots of questions about what they do – great opportunities come from networking and collaboration. Try not to listen to self-doubt or compare yourself to others. If you have an idea, go for it – you won’t regret at least trying. Work hard at whatever you’re passionate about. Heriot’s also taught me that you never know what someone else is going through so being kind is very important…and it costs you nothing!Īnd finally…any top tips for current pupils when planning their future? The guidance I received at Heriot’s taught me that if I’m ever struggling then asking for help is the best thing to do. When I’m fully recharged I put as much effort as I can into whatever I’m working on. I try to enjoy my time off by socialising, travelling and relaxing. Heriot’s taught me how important balance is. I don’t believe you can work hard “well” if you are not happy. A favourite teacher of mine, Cameron Wyllie, always emphasised the importance of effort but also of being happy. The Heriot’s ethos of “Work Hard and Be Kind” has stuck with me throughout my adult life. What are your main ‘takeaways’ from your Heriot’s days? The Dylusions Ink Sprays bright and vibrant palette will colorize paper, Sticky Back Canvas, wood, paper, clay and more. Opportunities like these, at such a young age, were a testament to the unique establishment Heriot’s is and a big reason for why I am doing what I do now. Dylusions Ink Spray dyes are a high quality, acid-free, non-toxic concentrated colorant for porous surfaces. The faith our teachers had in us will always stick with me. Topping off my music career at Heriot’s, Graeme Brownlee trusted me with singing a solo in the remarkable Usher Hall accompanied by the 1st Orchestra and Heriot’s combined choirs a task I would have never believed I was good enough for. She laughed through gritted teeth and bundled me to the joke shop to buy some brown hairspray which she used to transform me back to early 19th Century France every evening.Īnother highlight was travelling the UK with the Chamber Choir on a laugh-a-minute tour under the direction of the incredible Judith Buttars. It was dyed that day (without warning!) ready for my first television job. I will always remember giving the wonderful Kelda Henderson an immense shock when I arrived to our dress rehearsal with bright, postbox red hair. I was overjoyed to play the role of Eponine. One of my favourite memories is when the two departments joined together to produce the epic musical Les Misérables in 2013. I fondly remember both the drama and music departments at Heriot’s. What are your abiding memory of Heriot’s? Being nominated for a best drama BAFTA for it was a really special achievement for us all.
POSTBOX RED HAIR HOW TO
I learnt so much on that job, educating myself on how to be a better ally and about how important it is to use art and my platform to support others. We told the story of Anthony Walker, an 18 year old who was murdered in a racist attack in Liverpool, and what his life might have been like had he lived. I was also incredibly proud to be part of the Jimmy McGovern drama Anthony. I had nearly put the job out of my head before getting the call to tell me the role was mine. I had been in the casting process for two months and had been waiting for the final say for over two weeks.
POSTBOX RED HAIR SERIES
A moment of personal joy for me was landing my lead role in the television series World On Fire. I’ve been very proud to be a part of every project I’ve worked on. I am very fortunate that several came my way. From there I signed with my wonderful agent Ruth Young at United Agents and auditioned for LOTS of roles.
I landed a lead role and spent my summer holiday filming. I am an actor working predominantly in film and television.Īt the age of 16 I went to a casting call for the CBBC drama MI High.
