Drama
I started dance and drama training at the age of five. Drama was always something I really enjoyed, but I never considered following it as a
serious career.
In 2013, joined the Leicester Drama Society (based at The Little Theatre in Leicester) and got myself an agent a couple of years later.
Since university, I have written for various newspapers and magazines and self-published my own children’s book, ‘Kevin’s Bike’, in 2013. The
follow-up, ‘The Head Teacher’s Time Machine’ was published in 2015.
follow-up, ‘The Head Teacher’s Time Machine’ was published in 2015.
I write a lot of scripts, independently and with other people, and, most recently, completed an MA in Scriptwriting at Bath Spa University.
