Biography

I am a stage technician who has had a passion for theatre all my life. I am my 3rd and final year of the Technical and Production Arts course at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

I was born in Aberdeen where got involved in theatre from a young age. Working in all areas of theatre has given me a well-rounded experience including Front of House, Box Office and Producing work in addition to a wide range of technical experience.

Outside of theatre, my passions include technology, website design, magic and music.
