Katie Daubney
Teacher
"After studying French and English literature at Cardiff University and Universite d'Haute Savoie I swanned off to Canada where I became an actress and appeared in "blink and you'll miss them" roles in various films including The X-Men. I then went to Paris to work with a French producer and study at the Luc Charpentier School . In order to pay my way in Paris I came back to England to train for my CELTA. I also auditioned successfully for drama school. I taught English in Jersey for the summer before doing my acting post-grad. After drama school I settled back in London and started to work at Frances King to pay the rent between starring roles! I have now worked here on and off for 3 years."
