I had my first job in Professional Theatre at 18 playing a friendly alien in a touring children's theatre company based in Greater Manchester, in a show called "The Robot from Gorf" !

After completing  my degree in Drama & Theatre Studies at the University of Kent with a specialisation in Direction, I spent 20 years as a Community Drama Practitioner, Actor, Director and Visual Artist as well as a professional Lighting Technician and Studio Manager.

​

My son was born in 2001 and I moved into Educational Drama Facilitation setting up my own company called "SpeakOut" using drama strategies such as Forum, to empower participants and develop tools for self expression and self confidence.

 

I also toured as an Award Winning Slam Poet and staging and hosting Poetry Slams all over the country as well compering many Cabaret and Live Performance Spaces.

In 2011 I graduated from Oxford Brookes with a Masters' PGCE in Androgogy.
