About me

I graduated in 2020 from The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, with a First-Class Honours Degree in Theatre and Performance Technology, specialising in stage management. Due to the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the theatre industry, I subsequently decided to complete a Master’s Degree, which I passed with Distinction. Since the theatres reopened, I have worked for The Ambassador Theatre Group in both Manchester and more recently Milton Keynes where I hold the position of casual stage crew technician. Whilst working at the Opera House in Manchester, I was honoured to be asked by the Stage Manager for ‘Grease the UK and Ireland Tour’ to cover the Assistant Stage Manager role for the last leg of the tour at Cardiff Millennium Centre and Leeds Grand Theatre. This opportunity not only provided me with valuable touring experience but also allowed me to build relationships with the cast and production team, especially giving the challenges posed by the constantly evolving working environment due to the continued impact of the pandemic.

Other Skills Include:
Prop sourcing, maintaining the rehearsal room and rehearsal props, recording hours and overtime, stage set up, ability to read music to a grade 8 standard, cueing to scores, music and text, annotating the book, lighting desk programmer, operator for sound and lighting, assist with quick changes, undertake set turnarounds, understanding of health and Safety (COSHH) and ability to use CAD
