Age: 15 yrs & 7 mths

Hey! I’m Dervla a quietly confident, determined and fun loving teenager. I have been told that I could sing before I could talk and dance before I could walk! Since then, I have come a long way and alongside singing and dancing I love to act, perform, and play instruments. I have been fortunate to have been able to develop my skills even further since joining MuchAdo Stage School at the age of 4. I am an avid reader and love nothing more than to get lost in a book. I love to be challenged and the idea of filming on screen really excites me! I am extremely motivated, grounded and approach every day with positivity and a smile.
