Summary

My journey in theatre has always been driven by a desire to facilitate the magic that happens on stage by maintaining order behind the scenes. With experience ranging from burlesque and cabaret to aerial performance and classical theatre, I have developed a reputation as a 'safe pair of hands'—someone who is technically proficient but also emotionally intelligent.

I have extensive experience collaborating with queer artists and performers across the spectrum of gender and sexuality, understanding the nuances required to make a dressing room or rehearsal space feel safe and respectful. I combine this empathy with strict professional discretion and operational rigor, making me an ideal ASM for immersive, high-intensity productions like Cabaret.
