Hello everyone:)

For those who don’t know me, I am currently a second year student at the National Centre for Circus Arts. Growing up in the small city of Victoria, BC, Canada, I never imagined that I could make it to where I am today. Circus School has been a dream of mine for nearly a decade, and the past two years have been the best of my life. Even though I had to move half way around the planet, I have learnt a ton, gained a huge amount of confidence, and grown so much as a person.

However this amazing experience doesn’t come cheap. Because I didn’t grow up in the UK, I have to pay double what most of my classmates do, even though I’m a British citizen. As if that wasn’t bad enough, because of me being an international student, I’m ineligible to receive funding from either Canada or the UK. And of course, on top of this, the cost of living in London is extortionate.

I have already used up my family’s educational savings for me, as well as my inheritance left from my grandparents, and my own savings, but the degree is costing me nearly £100,000 (over $150,000CAD).

This is why I’m asking for your help to finish my degree. Please donate if you can, and share this page with others. All the money will go directly towards my tuition fees. Every contribution helps, no matter the amount, and I will be incredibly grateful for every little bit.

Thank you so so much:)
