About ME
I was born and bred in North Yorkshire, England and recently graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts with a First Class degree in Acting.
Originally training in classical singing from the age of seven, I transferred these skills to musical theatre in my teenage years doing productions in York and Leeds before taking part in two productions at the York Theatre Royal that changed my outlook and motivation.
During the summer of 2017, I took part in York Theatre Royal and Pilot Theatre's collaborative project 'Everything is Possible'; The York Suffragettes and played the part of Maeve Sullivan in Blue Stockings. Being surrounded by so many fantastic female creatives making theatre and giving a voice to women's stories not yet heard inspired me to create the blog series 'Deeds Not Words'; Women who Inspire in the Arts and Politics, hosting interviews with women in the industry and sharing them on a platform.
This ultimately motivated me to become a creative in my own right and I now work as an actor, director and writer in South East London. It also encouraged me to found Out The Attic making a platform for other women to do the same. I am passionate about making work that is political, intersectional and champions women and queer led voices.
My Latest Projects
IT'S A FAIR COP
My stage writing debut is currently in the early stages of development. Based on the life experiences of a female police officer in 1980s Yorkshire, I have hopes to stage the play in 2022.
...THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
My company's debut professional production ...that's what she said won the Manchester Fringe Award for Best Ensemble in September 2021.
‘Six girls. One week in Ibiza. Similar differences. ‘...that’s what she said’ is a brand new piece of theatre that explores what it means to be a woman in 2021. Devised based on real life experiences of the cast, the play opens the conversations on sisterhood and race in a modern way.
Curated by Miranda Roszkowski, I am so honoured to be amongst incredible company as one of the 100 writers included in this eclectic collection launching in March 2022.
