Graduated with a 1st Class BA Hons Degree in Stage Management from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. I undertook a 3 months Stage Management work placement at the RSC working on Salome and Vice Versa. In addition to working with Reading Between the Lines and Pins and Needles Productions. I have continued to work for RSC, Pins and Needles and Reading Between the Lines since graduating. I have a particular interest in Shakespeare and puppetry. I strongly believe in theatre for all and have a special interest in accessible and inclusive performances. During the Covid Pandemic I nannied for a Covid 19 specialist hospital doctor in London and worked as a Learning Support Assistant at a SEMH Special Primary School. Many of the children I taught had not experienced the joy of theatre and I believe now more than ever performance arts is vital to our well being.
