What I'm looking for

I’m seeking creative roles that combine acting, scriptwriting and presenting in theatre, TV or digital, with collaborative teams and opportunities to develop original projects and take creative ownership.

I am an actor and writer with recognised credits across stage, television and live immersive experiences, currently performing as an entertainer at a major live attraction and with an appearance on Coronation Street. I was also nominated for a prestigious award for my role in The Secret Garden at a London theatre.

My creative writing is a core strength: I co-wrote the pilot episode for a regional mockumentary sketch show and co-wrote and produced an award-winning 20‑minute thriller in which I played the lead. I develop vibrant, quirky material that translates well to screen and stage.

I have production and presenting experience from a six-month placement at a popular paranormal YouTube channel where I wrote, edited and proofread documentary scripts, produced short video introductions and presented to an audience of over 500,000 subscribers. I combine on-camera confidence with strong editorial skills.

Alongside my creative work I run an academy teaching stage and screen, organise workshops and handle business administration. I am eager to contribute my performance, writing and presenting skills to collaborative projects across theatre, TV and digital content.
