About

Digital

As a content creator, I’ve worked with the French Embassy since 2015 covering everything from the election of Emmanuel Macron to Brexit and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

I’ve freelanced for companies including Future Publishing, the National Grid, Groupe Bayard, Central School of Speech and Drama, and social media influencer CryptoJoe.

Theatre

As a theatre maker, I’ve made work at the White Bear Theatre, The Bread & Roses Theatre, Slam King’s Cross, Tower Theatre, Putney Arts Theatre, and Brighton Fringe.

More recently I’ve been assistant director on productions at ArtsEd and the British American Drama Academy.

Education

I have a BA Honours from Durham University in French and German and a PG certificate in journalism from LCC.

In December 2024, I will graduate from the MA Actor Training & Coaching course at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama with a special interest in French pedagogues Jacques Lecoq and Philippe Gaulier.

I live in Sussex.
