About

Production & Technical Arts
for stage and screen

I'm a 19-year-old technician based in Croxley, Rickmansworth, currently studying Production and Technical Arts: Stage & Screen at LAMDA (the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts). Alongside my training I work as a freelance theatre technician across London, with credits in sound, lighting, stage management and rigging.

My experience spans professional venues, drama-school productions and community events — from operating lighting for the Royal Ballet and Opera to stage-managing festival shows. I hold a Dante Level 1 certification, an enhanced DBS and REC2 outdoor first aid.
