Meet our Grace

Grace’s journey began in a socially disadvantaged household, where she was raised by incredibly loving parents. Despite the challenges of growing up in poverty, leaving school without GCSEs, and becoming a mother at just 16, Grace found a spark of hope and inspiration through the limited access she had to the performing arts as a child. Those precious moments ignited her imagination, nurtured her confidence, and turned learning into something magical.

At age 11, a brief but transformative experience at a prestigious theatre school—cut short due to financial constraints—fueled Grace’s lifelong passion for making high-quality performing arts accessible to all children, regardless of their background or abilities.

Driven by this passion, Grace carved out a successful career as an actress, gracing both the stage and television screens. However, the demands of a growing family and the instability of acting work led her to channel her creative energy into something more stable and impactful: the founding of DramEd.

DramEd is not just a company; it’s a movement that enriches children’s education through the arts while supporting performers in building fulfilling, stable careers that complement their artistic ambitions. Under Grace’s leadership, DramEd has become known for delivering creative educational workshops in schools, innovative preschool programs in maths, literacy, and fitness, and vibrant events in theatres and shopping centers nationwide.

Grace’s dedication to her craft and to the future of children’s education has not gone unnoticed. She is a self-published children’s author, a recipient of the ‘Women of the Future’ award sponsored by Aviva, and DramEd has been honored as a finalist in the prestigious Music and Drama Education Awards and Visionary Awards.

Despite these achievements, Grace remains firmly connected to her roots in acting. She continues to balance her time between leading DramEd and navigating a dynamic career on the stage—while also advocating for performers to find stability and fulfillment in careers that enrich children’s lives. Most recently, Grace has embarked on an exciting new chapter: writing for screen and television, further expanding her impact in the world of storytelling.
