About me
I am a BA graduate from East 15 Acting School, where I studied Creative Producing for Short Film & Theatre. My degree was very varied and involved me having to work on multiple modules simultaneously, including designing artwork, social media management, events management, set design, props sourcing, filming, editing, stage management, screen & scriptwriting et cetera, which involved me working both independently and as part of a team. My main passion is musical theatre but I enjoy a wide spectrum of performance. I have a keen interest in stage management and producing, which I have had some experience with at university. I am currently working as a Visitor Experience Specialist and a Singing Barmaid at The Game is Now - Sherlock: The Official Live Game and Infinity Showbar, in Shepherd's Bush and Southend, respectively. I was the Entertainment Manager for the Ingatestone Festival 2022 and recently I worked with the Clifftown Theatre to help with the marketing of their students’ and touring shows and promoting their social media accounts. My hobby is also within the musical theatre world, as I was a member of one of the UK's oldest musical theatre societies for roughly ten years. I have both performed on stage, proudly portraying lead roles, as well as crewing backstage, props, and FOH. I am due to play 'Esmeralda' in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' in November 2023. I also held a committee position for the last six years: three of those have been in the Assistant Publicity Officer role and two as Vice Chairman.
