I am driven to ensure that organisations achieve the objectives and ambitions of their strategies and connect with their key stakeholders, be they corporate, political and advocacy, internal or public engagement audiences with honesty clarity and passion.

Organisations have included the Royal Court Theatre, ATG and Nottingham Playhouse amongst others.I have also worked as a professional playwright with productions at the Royal Court Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse Roundabout, the Lyceum Edinburgh and Leicester Haymarket.
