With a passion to intrigue, entertain and provoke through my work, I love to create compelling stories which engage and challenge audiences. I am experienced in producing work for the stage and am actively engaged in supporting new and emerging voices.

I am the founder, Artistic Director and Executive Producer of Wool City Media, which produces diverse, inclusive and socially aware material for stage, screen, audio and beyond. Additionally, I run Studio Productions @ Bingley Little Theatre, specialising in fostering opportunities for new writing and creativity through its ITCH programme (Script Writers’ Lab, Scratch Nights, Theatre in the Bar & fully staged productions). As well as sitting on the Boards of The Red Ladder Theatre Company and Script Yorkshire, I chair Rainbow Home North and am a founding committee member of the Yorkshire Fringe.

As well as being a playwright and screenwriter, I am a media-maker and director. I deliver high-quality material to deadlines and I am committed to supporting peers and colleagues to foster the ongoing artistic and operational development of projects. When I’m not writing or creating, you can find me walking my dog, enjoying a live theatrical experience, watching a great TV drama or relaxing with a good book.
