Every teacher has inspired me in a different way, and to those teachers who I grew particularly close to and who dedicated their time & support to me, I cannot thank you enough. I have grown so much as a performer, which is all down to my incredible teachers pushing me and believing in me.
The countless opportunities I have been offered in all genres, have allowed me to grow and helped prepare me for the industry. The knowledge & immense support I was given during auditions was incredibly helpful and has allowed me to continue my training at Urdang.
Something I will truly cherish from my time is the relationships I have built with our younger students, and everyone throughout the school. GSDTA feels like family and I will miss seeing everyone so much. I have made memories to last a lifetime and cannot be more grateful for the best (jam-packed) 3 years!”

Zoe, we are so proud of the incredibly versatile young woman and performer you have become. We will miss your beautiful singing voice at the studios and your gorgeous storytelling on stage, but can’t wait to follow your journey at Urdang 💜
