CV

I am a trained actor, who has moved from the acting side of the industry to the teaching side becoming a teacher and coach with the goal of becoming a lecturer.
I am well versed in a variety of industries (before becoming a teacher I worked in Barclays as a data analyst, as a door to door salesman and as a Christmas Elf to name but a few!) and use my experience to help students with whatever goals they want to achieve

I most recently was Course Leader and Head of Performing and Production Arts at North Herts college in Hitchin

Interests

When I am not teaching, I enjoy gaming, both tabletop and computer. This has led to me recently writing a proposal for a PHD, as I am looking to combine both tabletop gaming and actor training to create a more clear and open teaching environment. (I am hoping to start later in year provided I can secure both the right institution and funding) On top of this I am a big reader and enjoy watching things. I am currently reading Junji Ito and trying to keep up with what's at the cinema, as well as occasionally LARPing in a field!
