I have been wholeheartedly engaged with the theatre all my life.
After training originally as an actor and later as a voice coach, including an apprenticeship at the RSC,
I studied an MFA in Theatre Directing at Birkbeck College which I was awarded in 2017 with distinction.
My training included a year at Sheffield Crucible assisting on main house plays including the multi award-winning musical ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ which I associate directed at the Apollo Theatre, West End.
I went on to direct my own adaptation of Lorca's ‘Blood Wedding’ and a multi-Offie nominated version of Peter Gill’s ‘Small Change’ for Omnibus Theatre.
I was Head of Performance at ALRA through the pandemic and became Centre Lead for Rose Bruford after ALRA closed.
I am now MA Acting Course Leader at ArtsEd.
I recently directed a staged reading of The Biblioette by Ivan Faute at the Union and co-directed ‘Monster’d’ by Paloma Oakenfold at Bread & Roses Theatre.
Collaborating with joy and passion and enabling everyone to find their voice in the work is at the core of what I do.
