Theatre director Women's voices Exploration Visual aesthetics Writer

She/her. I am a London based writer/director. I have an MA from RADA and Birkbeck University in Text and Performance. During this year I was able to specialise in directing, writing and dramaturgy. This course allowed me to become a more critical and structured creative, with focused approaches on how to articulate and achieve my artistic pursuits. I also received a distinction for my debut short film, 'Can The Moon Walk Me Home?' and wrote my first full-length play 'Kindness of a Stranger'.

I am interested in working in collaborative and inclusive environments. I enjoy workshopping around a topic or script, questioning and exploring it with actors as we go. I am currently working as a director-in-residence at Eltham College where I put on productions, run drama club, direct Shakespeare School's festival shows, support students in GCSE and A-level classes.
