About me

24 year old playwright, producer and content writer based in London. I currently work at the Space, a fringe theatre on the Isle of Dogs, as the team's Centre Administrator. As well as supervising the day-to-day running of a busy theatre, extra responsibilities include forming part of the team for Space Productions, the venue's in-house theatre company; forming part of the selection committee for programming each season; providing support, production assistance and mentoring emerging theatre companies working at the Space and helping to pilot schemes such as the Script6 Competition and last year's Theatre Directing Fellowship.

I have recently co-founded new theatre company, Burn Bright Theatre, with director Katherine Timms. The company has a commitment to alternating new writing and revivals of classic plays, and collaborating with artists across a range of disciplines.
