About me
I am a keen reader, with a variety of interests in history, anthropology, psychology, music, technology, literature and philosophy. I find lots of ideas and concepts within these subjects to be exciting, and find huge joy in communicating these ideas and excitement to others and engaging them in the wider conversations around these topics. An example of this is the musical that I wrote in February of 2017, a darkly comedic love story about two psychopaths that form a relationship. This combines my fascination with psychology, musical theatre and comedy, whilst engaging audience members in difficult and complex conversations about empathy and love. Currently I am taking this musical to a variety of venues around the UK, whilst also acting in several other shows, I have started an annual outdoor Shakespeare festival in the parish of Redgrave, Suffolk, whilst creating a nautical themed comedy sketch show called "The Shipping Forecast" based in Sheffield, and writing and directing a podcast about (and set in the world of) the fantasy roleplaying game 'Dungeons and Dragons'. My interests and hobbies form a pool of material that I draw on to create content in many formats, and that I hope will engage, inform, and entertain people.Additional skills:
Studying Psychology at the University of Sheffield has opened many doors for me over the past three years. Not only has it advanced my interest and knowledge of the subject itself, as well as science in general, but it has exposed me to an environment in which many of my other interests have also flourished. My passion for acting and theatre has advanced to the point where I am a member of one independent theatre company as well as the founder my own, through which I was able to write and direct an award-winning sell-out show. My passion for music has enabled me to sing on an amateur and professional basis for many choirs and choral ensembles, as well as gig professionally with a folk band (playing guitar and lead vocals). I have a keen interest in technology and computing, and enjoy this hands-on style hobby in which I can build computers and learn simultaneously, but ultimately, I believe it is my friendly nature, passion and enthusiastic attitude that will make me an asset to any potential employer
