I’m a theatre director and creative facilitator from Cambridgeshire, now based in East London. I have a proven commitment to intersectional and neuroinclusive theatre practice and arts for positive social change; I create work for neurodiverse audiences using found stories. I currently work as a facilitator and project coordinator at the National Youth Theatre on the Emerge and Stepping Up programmes, alongside studying an MA in Applied Theatre at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I’m also a member of the National Youth Theatre and Cambridge Junction’s Artist Development Scheme, Troop. I studied Modern Languages at Oxford University (where I ran The Wax House theatre company), and I’m now working towards my Level 2 British Sign Language qualification.
