Bio:
I am a recent graduate in Stage Management from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where I trained across a variety of productions. My experience spans rehearsal support, props sourcing and maintenance, wardrobe quick changes, cue calling, and technical stage work, giving me a strong foundation in all areas of backstage production.
My main focus is to build my career as a Stage Manager, as I am passionate about creating well-organised, collaborative environments where creative teams and performers feel supported.
I take pride in clear communication, attention to detail, and staying calm under pressure, whether I’m coordinating technical rehearsals or calling cues.
Originally from Los Angeles, California, I am now extending my stay in the UK to continue developing my professional experience and to build connections across the theatre community here. I am based in Glasgow and open to opportunities throughout the UK, including touring work and relocation.
Above all, I am dedicated to helping bring productions to life with energy, professionalism, and a positive attitude.
