What I'm looking for

I seek creative, people-focused roles where I can improve processes, lead small teams, and blend storytelling with operational excellence.

I am a multidisciplinary theatre and production professional with a First Class BA in Theatre Arts and hands-on experience across laboratory QA, retail leadership, film production assistance, and front-of-house events. I consistently improve processes — from implementing checklist systems that increased lab throughput to redesigning sales reports with automated Excel formulas — while maintaining high standards and positive team dynamics.

I thrive in fast-paced, people-centered environments where attention to detail, clear communication, and adaptability matter. I bring experience leading small teams, training staff, coordinating shoots and events, and improving traceability and turnaround times, and I seek roles that let me combine creative storytelling with operational excellence.
