About me
Award-winning writer and performer, currently overhauling the marketing for a London-based bank. Founder and Creative Director of a sold-out verbatim theatre project. Experience includes social media and community engagement for SMEs, composition, and creative direction in the performing arts, writing copy for personal trainers and rebranding financial services. A night owl and a morning person. Goofball and to-do list junkie. Also, I once won a storytelling contest about a botched family Thanksgiving. Ask me about it sometime.
