Help kiwi performer pursue her dream of attending drama school at The Guilford School Of Acting in England.

Katie has earned a coveted place on the prestigious BA Musical Theatre course at the Guildford School of Acting (GSA), starting this September. Out of thousands of applicants from around the world, she is one of only 22 students selected for this elite program.

This achievement is the result of a lifetime of dedication. With recent achievements such as:

• Back-to-back wins at the Auckland Live Showdown Awards

• NAPTA nomination

• Gold medals at the World Choir Games and The Big Sing

• Finalist and winner in multiple soloist competitions

GSA, part of the University of Surrey, is internationally recognised for excellence in performing arts. Ranked #1 in the UK for drama and music (Daily Mail 2025) and shortlisted for University of the Year, it boasts a 96.4% graduate success rate. GSA says: "Building on a 90-year heritage and our reputation as arguably the leading musical theatre school in the world."

Katie’s passion for acting and performing is the driving force in her life. She has trained nearly every day, guided by her mentors, inspired by her peers, and supported by her loved ones.

Katie now needs your support. GSA comes with significant costs, and any help will bring her closer to her dream while backing New Zealand talent on the world stage.

Let’s help her take this bold next step and share a Kiwi voice in musical theatre.
