About Me:
With a strong foundation in the creative industries, I bring both experience and passion to every project I take on. I hold a degree with First Class honours in English with Drama and have worked extensively in theatre production, most notably as the producer of Scaffolding—a new play that partnered with the Bristol Old Vic and The Pleasance, enjoying a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, a regional tour, and a sold-out weekend in London.

I’ve trained extensively in performance, earning Distinction in all my LAMDA Verse & Prose exams up to and including Gold and in Acting up to and including Silver. I also attended theatre school for five years, where I completed musical theatre, singing and dance examinations, further developing my versatility as a performer. This training has given me a strong stage presence, vocal control, and the confidence to perform both on stage and in front of the camera.

My love for fashion has always run alongside my creative work, and I’m drawn to the way personal style can be a powerful form of storytelling. I’m collaborative and adaptable and thrive in dynamic, artistic environments—always excited to bring energy, authenticity, and professionalism to the teams I work with.

Outside of work, I co-host and produce The Riot Grrlz podcast, sharing unfiltered opinions, relatable stories, and sharp humour that we hope resonates with listeners navigating the modern world. I enjoy a variety of writing, from spoken word poetry, where I’ve performed my original work at poetry events, as well as playwriting.
