I am a highly creative and organised person who prides herself on achieving high standards in any given role. Having worked in many different environments, I utilise a helpful and approachable nature to play a positive part of any team. I enjoy organising and enhancing systems and have strong problem-solving abilities. I am friendly, articulate and engaging.
I have a passion for the theatre and am an avid reader; particularly enjoying history, classical mythology and Shakespeare. I have recently set up my own theatre company (Fractured Time Productions) to produce new ways of bringing classical dramas to a modern audience.
