Professional info
I am a Creative Writing graduate and a drama enthusiast, both in writing for, and acting in performances. I possess excellent leadership skills and am able to organize and engage large groups of people of all ages. A very approachable, friendly and sociable person, I work well in a team and am also able to use my own initiative to get a task done well and efficiently.
I enjoy many creative mediums including writing, drawing, painting, singing and acting, utilizing these interests wherever possible and especially within university societies.
I have acted with St Albans based theatre company, Foot In The Door for two years and continue to work closely with them. I write a lot in my own time for pleasure as well as for my university course and am an avid reader.
