By day I run content operations for a podcast company. By evenings and weekends I'm in the rehearsal room — practising to be 1% better every day.

About me

When I'm not running content operations, I'm on stage rehearsing.

I've always been a dancer. Theatre came seriously in the last year — and since then I've been hooked on the rush of becoming a character, even while a million thoughts are arguing in my head.

What I love is the process, and the people in the room with me. I've been blessed to work with a lovely bunch of humans every step of the way, and that's the part I keep coming back for.
