Hi, I’m Katie. 

Being part of Take Part and the Dare to Dream project has honestly been a magical experience for me. One moment I’ll never forget is singing through my songs for the very first time — everything just clicked, and I felt proud, excited, and more confident in myself than ever before.

This project has helped me grow in so many ways. I’ve become much more confident meeting new people and talking to others, and I’ve learned how important teamwork, communication, and encouragement are — especially when working alongside younger performers who often look up to me. That responsibility has helped me understand the kind of role model I want to be.

I love bringing creativity and energy into rehearsals. Whether it’s helping with choreography, coming up with fun ideas, or supporting others when they’re nervous, I’m passionate about making our space feel welcoming, exciting, and safe for everyone — because Take Part really is for everyone.

For me, daring to dream means not being afraid to dream far and push yourself, even when your goals feel huge. One of my dreams is to go to musical theatre university, and working with people who share the same passion has helped me feel braver about that dream and more motivated to chase it.

Take Part has taught me that it’s okay to take a moment to breathe, reset, and come back stronger. It’s shown me how different everyone’s dreams are, how important it is to include everyone, and how powerful performing arts can be for confidence and wellbeing.

Most of all, Take Part is a place where I feel safe, supported, and able to express who I am — and I hope I can help others feel that too.
