Portfolio
Selected work
My work combines funding, organisational development and practical delivery. These examples show the roles I can bring to an organisation or creative team.

The Seagull is a 146-seat community theatre and Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. My work includes fundraising, organisational development, project planning, producing, partnerships, community programmes and supporting the practical operation of the venue.
Major community event
Lowestoft Carnival
Event development, funding, producing and partnership coordination
The 2025 event involved around 60 volunteers, more than 30 local traders, 49 local organisations in the parade, 20 free theatre performances for children and collections for 30 charities, raising approximately £3,000.
New writing and touring
Productions and touring projects
My producing responsibilities have included fundraising, planning, budgets, creative-team coordination, venue liaison, touring schedules, audience development and supporting materials.
