About me
I have a First Class Honours Degree in Theatre & English from Brunel University London, with a specialism in collaborative feminist directing. At university I co-founded the theatre company Studio Brunel and gained experience in administration and events programming. I also have experience in directing and devising theatre from working as a freelance theatremaker. I'm currently working at Jerwood Arts as the Team Assistant, and I also volunteer with Boundless Theatre as a member of their Advisory Group.
