About me

I have always aimed to have a good understanding of all elements of the Entertainment Industry, particularly in Theatre. I enjoy all styles of performance, and so have tried to undertake varied experiences, that have provided new and interesting challenges. I take pride in the organisational aspect of any role that I fill, and like to see this through into the practical element of a job. Since completing my training, I have been able to develop my skills, and look forward to the new ideas and methods that come with working in a new environment. I enjoy working hard on a production, and find that my personality lends itself to working within a team. I like to motivate the people I am working with, as this motivates me to achieve my best, and thus contribute efficiently to the task in hand.
