She/Her

I am a recent music graduate of the University of Manchester and am now looking for opportunities to work in theatre/film/TV.

Musically, I am a composer specialising in theatre composition and sound design and particularly enjoy the challenge of cross-genre work.

I have worked in musical theatre, fringe theatre, open-air theatre, studio production, Classical and modern composition, and have a great interest in exploring new ideas and approaches to work.

I also have experience as a writer, working as a freelance copy writer at a games and tech media online publishing house.
