Education

About me

BA HONS 2:1 Musical Theatre and Technical Theatre

As listed in my CV, I have voluntary, amateur and professional experience within a variety of theatres, along 3 years of practice in many areas of technical theatre whilst studying at the University Of Cumbria, Carlisle. Having a Joint Honours Degree and worked with a wide range of people, I have the ability to network on a personal level with those in various departments, including technical, management as well as performance as I have had 21 years of onstage experience.

With my teamwork experience I have had the opportunity to use my initiative and have the ability to problem solve and think on my feet. Having been commended for my Stage Management, technical and organisational skills, I feel that I remain calm when under pressure and secretly enjoy having to be extremely prepared.

Additional Skills

I have various grades in a number of instruments including piano, flute and violin. I have also qualifications which enable me to teach both classical and Musical Theatre singing, as well as Stage Acting Technique.

Industry Awards

Certificate of Crowd Management (CMAT).
Certificate of Proficiency STCW Basic Safety Training (HBST).
Certificate of Proficiency Security Awareness.

Additional Information

I enjoy being artistic and achieved an A* in GCSE Art and Design. I unfortunately was uable to take this to a higher level due to the restrictions placed upon subject choices at the secondary school I attended. I do however still enjoy arts and crafts when I have the time and find that my interest and talent comes in very useful with regards to set design and construction
