About me

After completing my course of Performing Arts: specialising in Theatre Production at Canterbury Christ Church University I applied and gained a job working for Royal Caribbean International as a Technical Stage Staff. After a period of 9 months at sea I moved on to working on the Ladyboys of Bangkok tour for its last 4 months as the Chief Electrician (LX1) where after it drew to a close I was offered a role as lighting operator on the pantomime Aladdin. Too which I returned to the Ladyboys of Bangkok tour for its full 9 Month tour as Chief Electrician\Technical Tour Manger followed by my return to Blue Genie Entertainments Pantomime of Cinderella as Flyman.
I started in performing arts at the age of eight and I attended Stage Schools until I started university. During this time I have achieved various awards for dance. For my work experience I worked as a Technical Theatre Technician. After completing my course at Newcastle College I perused my interest in Technical Theatre by attending university and volunteering to help at external events. Since being apart of the university I have gained an IPAF licence, a licence to operate a scissor lift, I have also gained valuable skills in team building since I work with in a small group to get the job done. I have also learned how to put together steel stage decking, rigging lights, patch work, binary code counting and have gained a high working knowledge of the equipment that can be used throughout the industry.
I believe I am polite, trustworthy and a good time keeper. I always work to the best of my ability and I am keen to learn new skills and to adapt on those that I have already gained.
