About me
Trained in Stage Management and Technical Theatre at The Lir, Trinity College Dublin, I have since gone on to work in Ireland, the UK, and further afield. My passion is for calling musicals or Opera, but I have also applied my skills to working on site specific performances, at music festivals, and in tv. This broad range of experiences has helped shape my particular style of stage management and reinforced my desire to work in this industry.A passionate theatre professional, you will find me to be an enthusiastic, focused and well prepared individual.
Additional skills:
Basic carpentry; some metalwork; scenic art; sewing; prop construction; first aid; working with children; qlab.

Crew:
A London based stage and tv technician with over 5 years experience in the entertainment industry. Having spent the last two years focusing on my theatre career, I have toured both at home and internationally, and am well used to working under pressure, managing large teams, and dealing with many different departments. I am now looking to move back in to tv as I believe my particular skills will help me to stand out and be a strong asset to any team.

Additional information:
Having worked in live tv (the voice, dancing with the stars, the popes visit to Ireland etc.) I happily brought all of my musical theatre experience to bear on helping ensure the show ran smoothly. For example: on my most recent broadcast, for the Popes visit to Dublin, I had 12 spot ops under my lead and our main coms unit died. I immediately grabbed one of the daisy chained packs, insisted on silence unless necessary, and called a successful show. This ability to work under pressure I believe will make me an asset to any production.
