About Me.
I am a professional Lighting Designer and Stage Technician.
Having a joy for theatre since childhood I was happy to recently complete a BA Hons in Lighting Design after more than a decade in local government. I come to my new career with life experience and a passion for people. I enjoyed working with young adults whilst completing my degree and have experience engaging with companies and members of the public on behalf of local authorities. Whether with family or friends, I like being in a supporting role and to be able to help and empower others. I have experience using the latest stage and lighting equipment, from moving lights to computer lighting control. I have used digital sound boards and have been responsible for setting mics and wiring instruments as well as using video projection and Dante sound networks. I have good Health and Safety experience, creating safe environments and handling staging safely. I am familiar with ETC’s EOS lighting control system. I can produce professional lighting designs on Vectorworks, Auto CAD and WYSIWYG computer software. I also enjoy being able to fix things. I trained as an actor in my 20s at ‘Drama Centre London’ and consider myself a good communicator. I have always loved the theatre; I remember the excitement standing in an empty auditorium before a show at school. I see theatre lighting as a system of support for the performer and enjoy being able to share my expertise with a company, empowering others to make informed choices. I am based in London and I am a keen cyclist. Importantly I am reliable and resilient. EDUCATION
