About Me
I am a creative from the north east of England. I am an English Literature graduate from Loughborough University and recently completed a Master's in Film; Theory and Practice at Newcastle University.

I love telling stories and specialise in writing, directing and producing film and theatre. I wants to develop narratives that often go unheard and is passionate about highlighting working class, northern voices.
