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

Growing up in rural Scotland, I didn’t see theatre until I was 14. That experience drives my commitment to inclusive, accessible theatre and a interest in stories exploring belonging and the tension between countryside and city life.

I regularly collaborate with composers and actor-musicians, exploring sound worlds connected to place, culture and history, and using music to shape emotional tone and challenge perspective.

As an assistant director, I’ve supported productions from early development through to performance. I am confident working with understudies and maintaining a show once it is up and running.

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 direct and facilitate in youth and education settings. I believe the arts are essential to education, building confidence, imagination and empathy in young people.

Currently: I have received Creative Scotland funding to develop a new play, Unwritten (working title), about the 1597 witch panic in Aberdeenshire. The project will culminate in rehearsed readings at Strachan Village Hall, National Theatre of Scotland’s Rockvilla Studio, and Aberdeen Music Hall on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th of November respectively.
