My name is Ella and I am raising funds to help me pursue my dreams and continue my professional training at Urdang Academy in London.

For the past few years, I have dedicated myself to training and performing, taking part in multiple productions including Spring Awakening, Shrek, and Sweeney Todd. Performing has always been my passion, and every opportunity I have had on stage has only strengthened my love for the industry and my determination to pursue it professionally.

Over the last year, I have also been training at Mountview Academy Belfast on their CertHE course. I have grown my love for my passion through working with such talented teachers and being given the opportunity to build the foundations of professional training. This experience has pushed me creatively and personally, helping me grow in confidence, discipline, and skill while confirming that I want to continue my education and training at degree level.

Last year, I was incredibly honoured to be nominated for Best Female Vocalist in Ireland at the AIMS Awards. Being recognised in this way was such an important moment for me and reminded me how much I want to continue growing as a performer.

Now, I have been given the opportunity to train at Urdang Academy, one of the leading performing arts academies. This is a dream opportunity and an important step toward building a career in performance.

Unfortunately, the financial cost of tuition, accommodation, travel, and living expenses in London is a major challenge for me.

Every donation would go to the extremely expensive cost of tuition (£9535.00 per year) and towards the cost of accommodation and bills in London.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and help me take this next step toward my future. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for believing in me and supporting my journey.
