Before that I worked at Sonia Friedman Productions on over ten musicals and plays in under two years, including the development of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD.
I now use my storytelling skills to create bespoke content, arts programmes & fundraising strategies for clients across the public, charity, arts & private sectors.

Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do.
