I help organisations and individuals tell stories that connect.
In 2016 I moved on from a career in local government to train as an actor at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) I went on to establish a series of successful theatre projects as a writer, performer, and producer.
I have now co-founded three companies: international devising ensemble New Public, experimental text based theatre company Performance Anxiety, and game-changing immersive social experiences creators Objective Entertainment.
I have delivered training in performance and storytelling, public speaking and theatre-making to a range of clients, including BPP Law school, RADA, University of Bolton, NCS, ATG and University of West London.
I work across mediums, and am always on the look out for new opportunities to collaborate and help make ambitious ideas a reality.

Directed by Simona Gonella (RSC) and featuring sound design from Offie nominated Julian Starr (The Royal Court) and at RADA festiva
