BIOGRAPHY

I began my stage management career in theatre and worked my way up through live theatre, site specific theatre and events, gaining a solid understanding of the foundations of the department and levelling up over the years. I work well in a team and to my own initiative. Music has always been my first passion and I come from a background where music has always been part of life. I am a strong score reader as a result of this and being part of an orchestra has also given me the ability to feel the music which has been invaluable to me as a DSM for dance and opera.
