Empowering creativity through writing & drama.

I am a creative writer and practitioner based in Manchester exploring how storytelling can be a tool for learning, collaboration, and personal expression.

With a background in theatre-making, I’ve toured my own one-woman show STUPID (2017) to sell-out audiences. This was later adapted into a comedy short as part of Scratch Me 2020 (Film Hub North/BFI Network), where I received mentorship from Baby Cow Productions. Soon after this I was awarded a place on BBC Northern Voices, marking my transition from stage to screen.

Alongside my own writing, I am a literacy and creative writing tutor, delivering creative workshops across the North of England. I have worked with organisations such as New Writing North, Mortal Fools, and Girlhood Manchester.
