OUR TEAM

What makes you smile?

My dog Dougie. He’s fluffy. 

What’s your favourite thing about where you’re from?

My dear friends and family are all still there. I love coming home to see them. Oh and salt and pepper chips from The Stockton Fryer. 

Who inspires you?

I feel inspired everyday by people I love, books I read, plays I watch. However, a huge inspiration would be my great nan. She lived till she was 97, ate chips for breakfast, lunch and dinner and gave no fucks. 

Acting Credits:

Identities (UK Tour), T.U.N.E (Farnham Maltings), S Factor (UK Schools Tour), Earthquakes In London (ALRA/Not Too Tame)

Writing Credits:

Identities (Close To Home), The Invisible Dog (Haringey Shed)

What makes you smile? 

A good cup of tea on a cold day, hugging my family after not seeing them for a while or a really cheesy romcom. I’m also a sucker for a good ‘fancy’ coffee (but don’t tell my sister as she’ll say London has ruined me!)

What’s your favourite thing about where you’re from?

The number of Greggs! That and the beauty of the Cumbrian countryside- I always forget how beautiful it is and how wonderful it is that we can walk out of our house and be immersed in it.

Who inspires you? 

My Granne, my mum, my cousin, my older sister… basically most of the female members of my family and my friends! I think they’re all incredible in different ways and constantly inspire me to be kinder and strive for bigger things. They’ve instilled that women deserve to take up space and we can make an impact on the world in so many ways.
