I'm a scriptwriter interested in character motivated pieces and gender roles. I've had plays produced at the Edinburgh Fringe, at University as part of Freshfest, Warwick Students Arts Festival and in Warwick Arts Centre. I'm also a recent grad from the Writing Squad - a two-year Arts Council funded development programme for writers from the North.

I'm currently working on a historical project with Thirsk Museum; creating a script for radio which revolves around artefacts from their archive. I'm working on this project with BBC producer Jess Brown. I've also been commissioned by Heads Together Productions to create a piece of radio for Le Tour, collaborating with sound artist Karen Lauke, I'm exploring the politics of the peloton, pack mentality and the psyche of professional domestiques.

I also work as an Assistant Director: on The Only Way Is Chelsea's with Root Theatre in 2013 (York Theatre Royal; Live Theatre; Soho Theatre), and currently on Sprite Production's promenade performance of 'Midsummer Night's Dream' at Ripley Castle, playing throughout July. I am also working with Root Theatre as assistant director and outreach associate on their upcoming tour of 'Bird', a one-woman show which will be touring the midlands in the autumn.

I also love with working with writers and their writing; I've worked as a reader for the National Theatre of Scotland and West Yorkshire Playhouse, and am looking to get more experience reading for film and TV also.

As I writer I'm very interested in strongly gendered pieces featuring female protagonists - I've always loved seeing classic tales re-told from the female perspective (a la Margaret Atwood's 'The Penelopiad') and also love to explore different periods in my writing.

I graduated with a first in English lit and Creative Writing from Warwick Uni in 2012. I've also worked for the BBC, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Traverse Theatre and the West Yorkshire Playhouse, as a runner, in marketing, and in literary development respectively.
