Stacey then went on to work for Thomson Cruiselines, CMV cruises. Stacey also played the lead role Carmen Diaz in the Italian tour of the musical ‘Fame’ & Marty in the musical ‘Grease’.

At 30, Stacey returned to the green, green grass of home with a dream — to open her own theatre school and give back to the community that raised her. Inspired by her own childhood, where her parents always encouraged her and her siblings in everything they did, Stacey wanted to create a place where children & young people could feel supported, inspired, and free to shine.

Since opening Taylor’s Academy, Stacey has built a loyal following and become a much-loved figure among students and families alike. Children are naturally drawn to her warmth, humour, and passion. She is deeply dedicated to each and every student, and there’s nothing she loves more than watching them grow into confident, talented performers.
