About me
I am a hardworking and creative individual, I have been enthusiastic about theatre from a young age, dedicating all of my spare time to shows, until I was able to train at LAMDA where I graduated with a 1st Class in my Ba(Hons) degree - Production & Technical Arts: Stage Management. I gained a huge amount of experience in a variety of technical departments, with my main focus being on stage management. I successfully completed seven roles within the Stage Management department while at university, with two of them being in professional environments. I also undertook the role of Junior Production Manager at the National Theatre as my final placement to complete my degree. The experience I gained here, working alongside professionals in such an iconic theatre was invaluable, I put into practice skills I had learnt at LAMDA, budgeting, risk assessments and clear communication to achieve in this role, as well as learning new skills, from how to effectively manage a large production and team, to more hands-on experience like learning how to screen print!After graduating, I have taken on a variety of roles at the Jermyn Street Theatre, as an Assistant Stage Manager for both 'The Ice Cream Boys' and 'The Beckett Triple Bill'. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been a part of the team who have been rebuilding the theatre after the devastating flood which occurred in early 2020. Between lockdowns I was also able to work on a live stream show, '15 Heroines', as an in-house Technician, it was a privilege to have participated in the creation of a show when theatres have all been forced to close.
I am now looking forward with great anticipation, to the re-opening of theatres and hope to fulfil more roles within in Stage Management soon.
