Summary

My career started in Theatre, specifically Stage Management, after graduating from what is now known as The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

My job took me to Dundee Rep Theatre, The Byre Theatre (St. Andrews), Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts School (NY), Mountview Theatre School (London), Chester Gateway Theatre, Theatre Royal Stratford East (London) ...

Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed this period of time, it wasn't conducive to family and home life.

I soon realised that my skills were transferable to retail and customer service roles but have been lucky enough to even involve my creative side with many of my positions.

With my varied background I have now settled in Fashion retail which allows me to follow my passions for stylish ,sustainable and unique brands.
