Affiliations

  • Theatre: I have been a member of my local community theatre group for the last six years. Most notably I helped to write and craft the original script 'The Murder on Killhope Mine' that was performed around County Durham in 2021. As well as this, I helped to adapt Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' to a 1920s-style piece in which I played the role of Rosalind in 2019. These experiences have taught me the importance of collaboration when working creatively and how crafting ideas together helps shape them into their best versions.
