As an artist-researcher in theatre and performance, I maintain a strong background in fostering relationships with co-collaborators and artistic employers and have recent experience in championing creative digital development for community and company initiatives.
My vocation in the arts is to collaborate on new works that serve the artistic community + the public that the work is presented to.
My passions in my artistic endeavours are many. Each passion informs, challenges, and compliments the other.
Within all roles I play, I am a collaborator.
