I am an internationally produced, award winning playwright. My debut play, Circa, premiered at the Theater de Meervaart, Amsterdam in 2016 and I have since seen five of my plays amass over 220 performances collectively, visiting eleven cities across Europe. Most recently my play Wreckage ran at the Turbine Theatre in January 2023 in a production by Harlow Playhouse directed by Rikki Beadle-Blair. Wreckage has been shortlisted for the Hamburg Theater Preiss 2024.

I have since performed in theatre's across the UK including the Turbine Theatre, Park Theatre, Rose Theatre Kingston and Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury. Screen credits include Queenie (Channel 4), 'Once Upon a Time in London' (Gateway Films).
