About me
A conscientious and proactive person with 15 years’ experience in theatre, An ability to plan, prioritise and manage a varied workload with an eye for detail, thriving in a pressurised environment, keeping to deadlines; the ability to communicate effectively and diplomatically with a variety of people and work well as part of a team to meet organisational goals.I have 'worn many hats' over the years as Producer, Stage Manager, Deputy Stage Manager, Production Manager and Props Maker. This highlights my philosophy and general attitude of just ‘mucking in and getting on with it’.
I have a positive, cheerful outlook and have good people skills - not only working recently with community actors, but with children also. I was a housemistress in a boarding school for three years, which was great fun and rather challenging at times, the main duty to fulfil was the pastoral care side - I developed this by doing a course in Counselling and then further courses in Coaching.
