About

With 9 years experience in theatre, working with writers who also work in TV, I’m looking to make the move into high end TV, to be part of an industry that puts great story telling first. I've developed scripts with Megan Shandley (BBC Writers Room, Scottish Voices), for the Royal Court Theatre and Bristol Old Vic and am a reader for the National Theatre.

I'm looking for assistant script editor roles, to get the lay of the land of tv production, with an eye to script editor or development positions. I’m also up for mucking in as a runner to learn as much as I can, and having stage managed at Southbank Centre, Wellcome Collection, Roundabout @ Summerhall, MAC Belfast, Taragon Theatre Toronto and Latitude Festival, I think I would be an asset on set.

Most of my favourite writing over the last few years has been in TV - Will Sharpe’s Flowers, Ed Sinclair’s Landscapers, Billie Piper & Lucy Prebble’s I Hate Suzie and Michaela Coel’s Chewing Gum & I May Destroy You, Stath Let’s Flats, Happy Valley, Severance, Succession…I could keep going.

I’m super friendly, highly organised and efficient, proactive and calm under pressure. As a director, I have run teams of 30 people and collaborated across disciplines and on many levels. I've stage managed at Southbank Centre, Wellcome Collection, Roundabout @ Summerhall, MAC Belfast, Taragon Theatre Toronto and Latitude Festival.
