Norma trained at the Northern College of Speech and Drama and researched at Leicester University. She has performed professionally in Rep and in tours all over the UK.
Examining and adjudicating has taken her all over the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka. Teaching has always been her priority and Norma has taught at a variety of schools and colleges. She now teaches at her private studio.
Although many of her students are pursuing successful acting careers and others are teaching Speech and Drama, her greatest joy is equipping students with life skills, and the ability to take their place in society confidently.
Norma is an adjudicator for The British and International Federation of Festivals and was awarded a Fellowship of the Federation in 2015.
