I direct and develop new work, as well as fresh adaptations of classic stories.

I love working collaboratively with writers to create bold new work. I also regularly collaborate with composers and actor-musicians, using live music to shape emotional tone, disrupt expectations, and invite new perspectives.

I’m particularly drawn to stories that explore political and social tensions through the lens of personal and familial relationships, especially those shaped by class, gender and geography. Growing up in rural Scotland, I didn’t see any theatre until I was 14. That experience fuels my commitment to inclusive, community-rooted theatre, and I’m often drawn to stories that explore the tension between countryside and city.

As an assistant director, I’ve supported productions from early script development through to performance. I’m experienced in working with understudies and maintaining the show once it’s up and running. Most recently, I assisted Paul Hart on The Autobiography of a Cad, adapted by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, at The Watermill Theatre.

I trained on the MA Directing programme at Rose Bruford College, graduating with distinction in 2023. Six months later, I returned as a Lecturer in Acting and Cover Assistant Head of the BA Acting programme at Rose Bruford South West (formerly ALRA South).

Alongside my professional work, I’m also a facilitator and director in youth and education settings, an important part of my practice. I believe the arts are a fundamental part of education, vital for nurturing confidence and empathy in young people.

Currently: I am directing The Last Keepers, a new play by Andrea Cano Molina, performed by ACS’s acting students at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.
