About me

I am a very dedicated person devoted to achieving my personal aims, whilst doing what I can to help others and support the community. I work well in a team and believe I am a valued member to any group. I also have the commitment, confidence, and personal drive to work well as an individual.

As well as interests in Technical Theatre and computing I also enjoy outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, kayaking and climbing.
I am a unit assistant for a local scout group. This has developed my confidence leading a group of people and also my organisational skills. As part of a team of leaders, I coordinate the weekly activities the scouts undertake.
Technical theatre is a career choice combining my creativity and imagination with design aspects from a good foundation of technical knowledge gained in various job roles and in higher education.
Including a good grounding gained in FDA Stage Management & Technical Theatre also Engineering and Information Technology.

Additional information:
I have many years experience in Technical Theatre beginning with an interest at high school. Various volunteering at local theatre led to a foundation degree in technical theatre. My experience & training was instrumental in success with a job role with Princess Cruises. A position of head of lighting on the prestigious Kynren outdoor show attracted me for the challenge & experience. This was one of the highlights of my career. Success in obtaining a contract position with Newcastle Theatre royal was also an achievement.
