I grew up in North London to Irish parents, and quickly became immersed in theatre. I started theatre school aged 5, going on to complete diplomas, GCSE, and A-LEVEL. Despite my love for the craft, I decided my skin wasn't thick enough for the grueling audition processes and the industries' overall lack of stability, so I followed through on my love for writing by completing a English Literature and Philosophy degree at the University of Leeds. 

​​

After graduating, I was diagnosed with severe M.E or CFS, leaving me bed bound for a year and a half. Despite symptoms making ordinary life difficult, I completed diplomas in screenwriting and photography. Though I am now fully recovered, this time has enhanced my ability to write and create from a whole new perspective and has permanently changed my world view.

​​

After recovering, I began work in publishing where I produced book and magazine collections for educational institutions and worldwide conferences, such as COP26. I grew a career in marketing, going on to become a Marketing Manager at meditation app Moments of Space, before becoming a Product Marketing Manager at Guinness World Records.

 

I continued to write scripts for theatre and film, and completed two directing courses at London Film Academy and  City Lit. It was after completing this training that I set about writing and directing my first film.

​I've observed for a long time the kind of art being created, and felt for the most part ordinary voices facing ordinary issues were not being heard. We know that the industry requires time and money, which is why working class voices are under represented. Like many writers, I have many scripts written which may never see the light of day, and while I continue to write for theatre, my focus expanded into film after completing my script writing diploma.  My debut short The Hunt is a dark comedy about the London rent crisis told through a feminine lens. It's the first of what I hope to be many finished works, which elevate the experience of ordinary people.
