The road to writing has been fraught with challenges that will make me an asset to any writing team. To name a few of them, I returned to university six years after leaving high school in order to pursue writing professionally, only to be misguided by a well-meaning tutor so that I was excluded from writing a script as part of my dissertation. No matter, I found the Masters of Arts in Television Fiction Writing, except I was so terribly bullied that I almost quit to try again the next year. I managed to stay thanks to the tutors who expressed they also felt the strain of the group I was part of. So it was exciting to be offered representation after the MA, in March 2020, the month the world came to a standstill! So, I took the offer of a PhD in screenwriting serious illness narratives that year, and applied myself to that with a mind to continue to improve myself as a screenwriter and develop skills for joining a writing team. During this time I have also been developing my original scriptwork independently and with help from the Witsherface writers group.  Not only do I bring the analytical and time management skills learned at university, or even the practical learning about writers rooms, storylining, script editing, beatsheets and executing a script for continuing drama, I bring a wealth of experience to any creative team. From experiencing a dramatic change in class when my parents divorced during my childhood, to a myriad of jobs from telesales to aircraft maintenance thanks to the 2008 crash necessitating an abundance of temporary contracts and scarcity in permanent ones; I also thrived in many different creative projects. I was an avid participant in amateur theatre, an actor combatant recognised by the BASSC for Unarmed, Rapier & Dagger, Swashbuckling, Quarterstaff, Broadsword, and Sword & Shield disciplines, and a front-woman in a rock and then a metal band.  If nothing else, I am worth an interview for a good chat!
