I graduated from Mountview in 2008. I went on to train at the National Theatre Studio in 2009 and is a former Staff Director at the National Theatre.

Other directing includes: The Gypsy Thread (National Theatre Studio), The Error of Their Ways (Cockpit Theatre), A Number (Camden People’s Theatre), This Lime Tree Bower (Edinburgh Festival), and staged readings of The Geese of Beverly Road (Theatre 503), and Photos of You Sleeping (Hampstead Theatre).
