About Me
Shwmae! I’m Libby and I’m currently undertaking my school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) year in an inner-city London academy.
Before pursuing a PGCE, I studied for an MA in Applied Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, while working as a drama practitioner in Stagecoach Performing Arts and other youth theatre settings.
My studies in Applied Theatre ignited my passion for pedagogy, lifelong learning and innovative curriculum design, allowing me to work within the education contexts of England, Wales and Singapore.
