I'm a Scottish freelance theatre director, dramaturg and facilitator. 

I love to make theatre filled with heart, epic stories and hopefully some live music too! I believe that everyone should have access to watching and making theatre. Everyone should have a voice in the rehearsal room and I prioritise making it safe, collaborative and playful. 

I trained in directing (Classical and Contemporary Text) at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. 

You can find me at ...

  • Director of I Hope Your Flowers Bloom by Raymond Wilson, Edinburgh Festival, Made in Scotland Programme, 2023

  • Creative Practitioner (Mat Cover) for Young Quines with Stellar Quines in Fife. 

  • Script Reader for the National Theatre of Scotland

  • Lead Artist on Lung Ha Across Scotland, a free actor training programme for performers with a learning disability in Scotland.
