Admin & Backstage Manager

​Emma​

I began dancing as a child and continued until the age of 10. Since then, I have remained closely involved with Sharon, initially supporting backstage alongside my mum. When she retired, I proudly stepped into the role of Backstage Manager for our shows.

I currently attend the Adult Tap classes and love being part of the Starlight community. My involvement has continued to grow, and I now work as the Saturday Admin Assistant. I am also exploring Teaching Assistant training so that I can further support our pupils in the classroom.
