Additional information:
I am very interested in cultures from around the world and continue to further my knowledge of Russia, Eastern Europe and Portuguese. Keeping an interest in eras and history surrounding productions and props is very important to me. I have a keen eye for finding things and drawing upon my experience and knowledge to see a great deal or a gem for a production.
Having a great passion in painting, drawing and making things has always driven me to further develop my skills and find new avenues to work in.

In addition to my experience in the working theatre I continually practice creating and designing; dolls houses, sets, make-up, costume, film, photography, writing and enjoy working with children to motivate their creativity.
