I'M A WRITER
And a producer and director, because how else do you get stuff made?
I write in English and French for the stage, screen and radio.
​
My work in France includes projects with Les Poussieres, Theatre de la Jonquiere and Theatre Berthelot. After studying Applied Theatre at La Sorbonne, I created my own company and wrote Sans Elle(s) which was programmed in theatres and festivals across Paris, funded by Paris Young Talent. Sadly, I am no longer young. Or living in Paris.
​
A regular at the Free Fringe in Edinburgh, since returning to London, I've had work performed at The Cockpit, The Rosemary Branch Theatre, The Vaults Festival, The Bunker and The Royal Opera House. I’ve won a few competitions. I mainly don't win them though...I have been longlisted twice for The Papatango New Writing Prize and Heretic voices at The Arcola, shortlisted for Pint-sized, GetOverit, Vaults Writing Group...
​
I have assisted Director, Kibwe Tavares since 2018. Notably on Noughts & Crosses (BBC), Aisha & Abhaya (Rambert/ROH) and My Name is Leon (BBC, in production). I have worked on script for Tiana Linden Films (Including WEST with Tony Pitts) and Les Indiscrets production company.
​
I'm also a Mum. And a daughter.
