About me
I am a very confident public speaker and have actively pursued this across both my professional and personal life. I therefore have a lot of experience delivering information to a variety of audiences in ever changing environments.
Over the last 7 years, I’ve been in a training role where I’ve designed and delivered workshops around the world and where I have been recognised with Cities and Guilds accreditation. My professional skills are complimented by my personal love for the art of performance and my comfort and confidence in front of a large audience. I’ve not only presented in corporate situations, but also performed, hosted and organised events in festival, theatre and cabaret environments to audiences ranging from children through to hen and stag parties. This has helped me to be able to adapt to different situations as well as deliver with a clear and confident presentation style
I have been heavily involved with the development process for events and have co-created and presented three full length shows - incorporating music, theatre and audience participation - which I’ve taken to the Edinburgh, Camden and Brighton Fringe Festivals as half of comedy duo ‘We Are Goose’.

Freelance Performer & TrainerFreelance
As a presenter in the performance space, the projects that I have worked on have fallen into three distinct categories:
• Interactive events and theatre for group participation
• Compering and presenting performance events
• Personalised interactive theatre for small groups
Responsibilities within these roles have included:
• Overseeing the promotion and PR of events over radio and print media.
• Creating and managing unique theatrical and environmental performances, ranging from full theatrical performances through to small interactive pieces.
• Creating unique interactive activities based on specific events and themes.
• Showing clear management and control in high energy environments and be able to adapt and think quickly when dealing with an ever-changing series of events.
• Creating an immediate rapport and relationship with varied audiences, engaging on a personal and individual basis.
My role is diverse and involves working with specific companies and events teams to help them develop their vision as well as creating an amiable rapport with audiences which vary from children through to stag and hen parties.
The role demands that I am readily adaptable and able to easily deviate from plans to make sure we are offering the best experience to the end user.
