Trained in dance and drama, with a career in television puppetry and digital production, I have always challenged accepted narratives and assumed norms about who can do what and why.

Accessibility, inclusion and Disability Justice sit at the heart of what I do and are what give me my professional edge and insight, informed by personal experience of living with chronic pain.
I know what questions to ask and when to lean in or stand back, to test or to reflect, in order to encourage new ways of thinking, seeing and experiencing. It is my joy to do this.
