About me
I trained in Musical Theatre at The BRIT School, and explored various styles of performance, dance and singing. Since graduating from BRIT I have worked extensively in choreography and performance for Fringe companies as well as teaching for Stagecoach and other performance academies.My biggest success has been "Snakes! The Musical" which is currently on international tour, has won several awards and was rated fifth best show at Edinburgh Fringe 2013 by critics.
I am reliable, enthusiastic and committed to choreography and performing arts, and take great pride in the work that I create.
I am always looking for new opportunities.

Additional information:
I have worked with various different companies including Enchanted Players Theatre Company, Stagecoach and Henley Children’s Theatre Group as a dance teacher.
During my time with Enchanted Players I independently ran an after-school street dance class at St. Mary’s and All Saints Primary School.
At Stagecoach Reading North I had the opportunity to teach for a term from January until the end of March this year. This concluded in a showcase that we invited the general public to see and this meant that I had to prepare a routine for each class to perform for the event. Additionally, I am still regularly involved as a substitute teacher for the school.
In Henley, I choreographed three shows and taught a variety of different ages ranging from the age of four to sixteen. These jobs required a mature sense of communication and enthusiasm in order to encourage the children to perform the routines and enjoy them. The fact that I’m also a freelancer adds maturity and independence to my character as well as a large amount of experience in communication skills when finding work.
I also Assistant Managed the marketing of another Quite Nice Theatre show, This Was Your Life which is an award comedy musical that they also brought to Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2013.
