About Me

Since qualifying as an RSLI in 2004, my career has spanned a wide range of work including theatre, concerts, television, festivals and live events. I have interpreted all genres of music, but my specialism would be rock, pop and ballads.

I love collaborative work with my peers and I am dedicated to continuous professional development in our work. I’m passionate about making music and theatre accessible for our deaf patrons.

How I Can Help

Our sessions will be a safe and supportive space where we can focus on the areas of performance interpreting you want to develop. We can explore specific skills, discuss practical tools and work at a pace and style that suits you. The aim is to help you build confidence and become a reflective and conscientious practitioner.

Other Roles / Credentials

Professional Supervisor, CAVA Assessor, Senior Practitioner, Mentor, Intra6 Diploma Teacher (AET)

By reflecting and learning together, we refine our practice as interpreters and strive to make theatre and live experiences accessible to the deaf community, which is at the heart of our work.
