Hi I'm a professional storyteller and drama practitioner with twenty five years experience of working in schools and community settings as well as performing in traditional and non traditional entertainment venues for children and adults. Over the past year I have embraced the virtual world and now offer applied and performative storytelling online.

I'm driven by a passion to engage, entertain and inspire through the power of story and I have a wide repertoire of  stories to draw upon.

Lots of new events are happening this Autumn with the return of live events for Spinning Yarns and finally being back at Southend Theatres with monthly Tea & Tales and Storytelling for Children. 

I'm also beavering away on a micro-commission for The Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch.

So lovely to be back out being with live audiences doing what I love!
