Summary

Experienced creative professional with a background in directing, choreography, and company leadership across theatre and education. I have a strong track record of maintaining the artistic integrity of touring productions, supporting performers, and communicating openly with creative teams and producers. My work as an Associate Choreographer on a major UK tour and as the founder of a successful performing arts studio has strengthened my ability to lead rehearsals, give clear notes, and manage the day-to-day needs of a show. I bring a calm, collaborative approach, a commitment to inclusivity, and a genuine focus on helping artists deliver confident and connected performances.
