About me
I am a freelance writer and director, largely focusing on adapting literary works into new and exciting pieces of theatre. I have also worked in a variety of other roles across student theatre, including marketing management, sound operation, acting and producing.
I am currently looking for work and internships in the arts sector in order to develop new skills and experience.
