About me

I graduated from Bath Spa University with a 2:1 in Theatre Production, specialising in costume (summer 2019).
As an undergraduate I completed work experience at Birmingham Royal Ballet and Queen of Stretch, London. This offered me opportunities working in a large corporate company and a small firm.
Since graduating I have offered freelance work with the Birmingham Hippodrome and Birmingham Royal Ballet. This work has covered all aspects of costume and touring wardrobe

Additional information:
At University I was a committed member of the Bath Spa Rapids Dance and Cheer team, and was elected as Dance Coach in my third year. This demonstrated leadership and organisational skills and commitment to working within a successful team.
I love travel and worked in a Romanian camp during summer 2018 teaching English to Romanian children. I have also traveled independently across Europe and some areas of South East Asia.


Theatre professional:
After graduating from Bath Spa University 2019, studying Theatre Production BA Hons, I am interested in securing a position where I can continue to demonstrate my skills and knowledge.
I have worked freelance for the Birmingham Royal Ballet as part of the touring wardrobe team and dressed on many shows at the Birmingham Hippodrome including, Matthew Bournes Red Shoes and The Cirus 1903.
I have skills in making, dressing, designing and supervising and have carried out a work placement within this field at Queen of Stretch, London making costumes for West End musicals and tours.
I am now looking to secure a position within a Costume team and feel I have the right knowledge and skills for this.
Additional skills:
Whilst at University I was hugely involved in the Bath Spa Rapids Dance and Cheer Team and in my third year was elected Jazz Coach. This involved leading weekly training sessions, choreographing and taking my team to National competitions, which helped me to develop my leadership skills. Within this role I always had to be organised and encouraging of my team.

I have previously worked in a sewing haberdashery, serving customers and assisting with alterations.
