Since I knew nobody in London, I arranged to work as a volunteer in a
home for people with learning disabilities, and they provided me with
housing and pocket money. Before starting the theatre course, Mountview
Drama School told me there was no money to fund my scholarship so I
decided to lose my place there. I was about to leave for Argentina when
I auditioned for London Studio Centre as my last chance and they
offered me a full scholarship on the spot.
