I am an enthusiastic, dependable, friendly individual who works efficiently as part of a team or on my own initiative. I have a good knowledge of most aspects of theatre and I am well-suited to roles where a broader outlook is useful.

I have had some wonderful opportunities over the last few years that have meant I was able to experience living abroad and travelling to some far flung destinations. Always willing to take on a new genre, country or challenge. I am constantly looking at ways to improve my skills and believe that I would be an asset to any company.Additional skills:
First Aid trained:
Basic Life Support (European Resuscitation Council)- valid until January 2021
