My love for Disney started at a young age when watching all of the Disney classics such as Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty. I definitely think that I started to get more into Disney when I started performing as I found out that you can actually work at Disneyland – and I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
Disney is really special because it makes me feel like a kid again and when I’m at Disneyland or watching a Disney movie, I always seem to be smiling and I forget about everything negative as it’s such a happy place to be.
I work for two princess party businesses – Be Our Guest Princesses and Dress Up and Dream.
My favourite princess to ‘be friends with’ is either Rapunzel or Anna as they are such upbeat and fun characters.
They are very giddy characters in their movies, so it makes them much more fun to spend the day with.
When I’m at the kids’ parties with the characters, it’s so lovely to see how the kids react when their favourite character comes to visit them.
I’m currently doing a degree in performing arts at Stella Mann College and my aim for after I finish my degree is to be friends with Tinker Bell, Alice and Wendy at Disneyland one day.
My grandma was named after Wendy Darling – so she has a special place in my heart.
I also feel like I have a very similar personality to Tinker Bell as she loves a lot but can also be stubborn which I can relate to. I also feel like I look like her, too.
My favourite villain is Captain Hook as I love Peter Pan – he is such a comedic character!
