I fell in love with Razzamataz way back in 2011 when my 2 daughters joined at ages 6 and 9. At that time Denise Gosney was still running her flagship school in Carlisle and I knew from the start we had found something very special as they rarely missed a class, made the best of friends and learnt life long skills all in a caring familiar setting. My youngest daughter joined Tots at age 3 in 2018 and my daughter Darcey continued through until she graduated at 18 years old with skills that enabled her to continue her studies in acting. Although my professional life has always been in law I have felt the desire to balance this with a more creative role and so am honoured and excited to have the opportunity to be Principal of the first Razzamataz school in Ireland. I moved to Limerick in early 2024 with my husband and youngest daughter to be near family and to re-establish my irish roots and to connect with the beautiful people and culture. Both my parents are Irish, my mother was born and raised in Manister, Limerick and my father's family hails from Roscommon. I am thrilled to be part of bringing such an amazing school to Ireland and to share its fantastic ethos with the families of Limerick. I truly believe in the schools ability to help build confident children through performing arts in fun, friendly and safe environment.
