Summary
I am an organised, professional student at the University of Sheffield. I am a people person, and love creating relationships with customers and working with other team members, and I have done a lot of this in the past. I am very flexible and a quick problem solver whilst being a clear communicator. I am comfortable and at my best working under deadlines and in slightly stressful environments, too!

Work history
Stage Manager, Production Manager
Sheffield University Theatre Company (SUTCo)
Sheffield, South Yorkshire
2024.10 - Current
- I am quite experienced at my university theater group, so I have been the safety officer for multiple productions; this included developing and informing a team of people of a fire safety plan, providing a MedKit, keeping people safe around prop weapons, and checking for any allergies or specific requirements that would impact a production, such as epilepsy.
- I had to manage a large tech team as Production Manager, ensuring their welfare and that they followed deadlines, and coordinate between different teams in order to ensure a smooth production.
- I managed inventory of cables and lighting equipment so that they were available for productions, and set these up before performances.
- I assisted the set team to both build and design a set that complemented productions. I have also worked behind the scenes making props and costumes, exercising so much creativity that I managed to win an award for my props.
- As Production Manager, I often also had to fill in as a Director which put my management, interpersonal, organisational, and creative skills to use all at once.
