I am a writer primarily focused on screenwriting. I am also experienced in sketch, joke and playwriting and I am a published columnist. I am training for my Diploma in Journalism with NCJT and am currently looking for further work as a writer and researcher.I pride myself on my strong communication skills, eye for detail, creativity and comic ability. I am disabled and some of my work is informed by my experience and visual impairment. My style as a writer is raw, honest, and darkly funny, with an ear for characters’ quirks and foibles, especially in their patterns of speech. I am looking to combine my skills as a writer with my journalism training to explore more work as a researcher.EXPERIENCE Comedy Writer on Sky Comedy Rep Scheme 2022/23.
