Playwright Theatre Director Actor Theatre Producer

I am a passionate and curious young theatre maker. I really enjoy storytelling and exploring new voices and worlds onstage.

I like to write, direct, and act in new writing or pieces which explore new perspectives and prioritise different voices in more established stories.

I am eager to learn more about all aspects of creating theatre, and get involved in lots of exciting projects. I would like to continue to develop my own creative voice and skills, whilst working with people who are also passionate about creating.

My preferred pronouns are she/her/hers.

Training

I studied theatre directing with Katie Mitchell on a two week intensive course. This course was run as one of RSSD's Artist Development Programmes.

I have also studied theatre directing with Jade Lewis on a course facilitated by the National Youth Theatre.

I studied Drama at University where I was awarded a first class Bachelor of Arts degree with honours. During my course, I studied practical modules in both acting and directing.

I had the opportunity to take part in a 'Directing for Screen' workshop led by Don Boyd, in which I directed and shot two short scenes from Hamlet.
