About me
26, currently working at Watersmeet Theatre as a Front of House Manager.Studied for three years at The University of Winchester and have a first class honours degree in Performance Management.
Since graduating I have done various freelance jobs in different aspects of theatre.
Started chaperoning in 2012 as a volunteer for local theatre companies and have gained a vast amount of experience over the years. I have excellent knowledge of the child performance laws as well as an up to date emergency first aid certificate, safeguarding children level one and safeguarding vulnerable adults.
After graduating in 2011, I spent two years working freelance as a stage manager around London before taking a more permanent position as a Front of House Supervisor at The National Theatre in 2013.
In 2015 I left the National Theatre to take up my current role as a front of house manager at Watersmeet in Rickmansworth. This role has allowed me to broaden my experience, working with volunteer staff for the first time as well as allowing me the time to undertake more chaperoning and production management work on a freelance basis.
My goal is to become a full time chaperone within the theatre and I am keen to gain experience whenever I can.
