About me

I studied Stage Management and Technical Theatre at Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA) in Wandsworth, London., and have been working the in the theatre industry professionally since 2011. Most recently I have been working as part of the Stage department at Theatr Clwyd, Mold (North Wales), on their productions and received shows. During this time I’ve been able to learn many more skills, such as Flying as well as having the opportunity to tour with productions.

I have performed on stage as a costumed character, as well as a puppeteer and embrace the change from hiding in the wings. A few years ago, I performed as a Zombie Actor for the cross-city chase game called 2.8 Hours Later. I have also performed on stage when I was younger in several Shakespeare productions, as well as doing modern dance, Ballroom and Latin.

I love all types of theatre, including Ballet, Musicals, Shakespeare, as well as new writing. Even though I work in theatre, I still actively seek look for shows to go and see when I have an opportunity. I like to observe the shows and see how they are made both creatively and practically. I especially like looking at the effects and always sit there wondering how on earth they did it……

I’m a huge animal lover, and cannot resist making a fuss over dogs. I love to get outside when I can to explore the countryside, but I also like to do embroidery, watch movies and read a good book. I am aiming to expand my random knowledge and skills by learning how to do aerial hoop, fire breathing and archery.
