About me
I am a very positive and creative person that believes anything is possible.My CV is extensive and covers everything from directing musicals to writing and directing professional panto, staging major outdoor concerts with the RLPO and hiring a steam train!
For 22 years I worked as a Promotions Manager followed by running an event division for a major Cumbrian publisher. I gradually moved into more freelance work and in 2012 I decided to go full time freelance.
I specialise in Musicals and Pantomime and have worked for many major companies including Qdos, ATG and Paul Holman Associates.
With a strong technical background I am able to work alongside the technical team understanding their needs but ensuring that the demands of the production (and my vision) are met.
In between professional jobs I run Cumbria's premier youth theatre with 180 students aged between four and 18. I set this up in 2004 and many of our Alumni are now working professionally within the industry.
Industry awards:
2018: Best Youth Production in the North West
2015: Cumbria Life Magazine Culture Award
2014: Carlisle Living Magazine Inspiration award
2012: Carlisle City Council Civic Award (Working with young people within the arts)
2008: Carlisle City Council Civic Award (Theatre services to the City)
