About me
For almost 10 years I’ve worked professionally across the world in Theatre and Live Entertainment, working mostly in the Business and Operational sides of this creative industry. I’m always looking to find work that continues to utilise my drive and passion for business and sales as well as creativity. Although my degree is in Musical Theatre I have taken training courses in Producing and Theatre Management through Stage One New Producers and The Production Exchange as well as an A Level in Business Studies. In the world of Entertainment I have worked for large International Brands including The Walt Disney Company, Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre, Ambassador Theatre Group and Merlin Entertainments. All of which carry intense training and knowledge into the standards of the brand and ways in which to upkeep its integrity and vision. Producing and Managing shows I have been tasked with managing teams of up to 70 people across varying departments and disciplines, monitoring the budget and finances for large scale productions, general administration for the operation and organisation of the productions as well as liaising and attracting various clients, venues and corporate sponsors.
