Biography

Born on 1978 in Falkirk, Scotland to parents Norman & Liz, Donna initially moved to London straight out of high school to attend The London School of Musical Theatre. However, following successful auditions the opportunity to work beckoned and she decided to forfeit her place and take on the professional world.

With a background in acrobatic & circus skills, as well as music, her credits cover repertory theatre, National tours, film, TV, voiceover, cabaret, corporate role play, live commercials and more in both Europe and the U.S having been granted a performance visa and sponsorship with a talent manager in 2006, through which she spent 3 years in Los Angeles.

Returning to work in the UK in 2008, with the intention of simply fulfilling her other passions of fitness, Latin music and education by teaching a few classes on the side, Donna took up the role of Zumba® Education Specialist for global, Latin dance based lifestyle brand Zumba® Fitness brand running Instructor Trainings and presenting at various events including Conventions, Fitness Concerts, Dance Expos, STV Live & Online, TV3 Ireland, This Morning, The Lorriane Show, National Radio, Health & Fitness Magazines & Zumba® Fitness DVDs.

Her first love, the very charming Mr Performance has been calling her lately and she is very happy to be returning to the theatrical world while still holding down her other roles in presenting, educating & holistic wellness, so her life is full of everything she loves and no passion is left unpursued!
