About me
My career began with an apprenticeship in one of the UK's leading regional producing houses. I worked across a variety of departments including- stage management, scenic art and construction, stage/flys and lighting.I gained a firm footing in the process of staging a production and have built upon this knowledge at University.
I am currently employed full-time as propmaker at the Royal and Derngate in Northampton.
Over the past year I have been engaged as stage management on a number of projects. Most notably as Company stage manager on An Improbable Musical.
