Hello and welcome

I’m a multi-disciplinary creative producer using arts and culture to affect change on urgent social, political, and environmental issues.

Under my company, This Little Rock, I produce impact-led genre films and documentaries.

Earlier in my career, I produced numerous critically-acclaimed theatre shows and national and international tours, as well as festivals, games, audio, and artist development labs with leading international charities and cultural institutions, such as the British Council, Amnesty International, and Royal Borough Gardens Kew.

I’m a BAFTA Connect member, a Miles Ketley Memorial Fund bursary recipient, an MGC Futures bursary recipient, and an alumna of BFI NETWORK@LFF, BIFA Springboard, IDFAcademy, the Clore Emerging Leaders course, and Cause4 & Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy’s Fellowship.

I’ve been developing my skills as an impact producer with the support of a DYCP award from Arts Council England.

I received the Deacon Award for Young Audio Producer at the UK International Radio Drama Festival, was awarded a Churchill Fellowship for the arts and social justice, and was nominated for Best Producer at the BAFTA-qualifying Underwire Film Festival.

Outside of my work, I’ve volunteered as a Trustee for imagine if Theatre Company since April 2017, as Director of Professional Development for Young Arts Fundraisers from 2020 – 2025 where I ran Evolve, a year-long professional development programme for early-career arts fundraisers, as a member of Film Strike for Climate, on the Youth Development Committee for Go Live, and for several other non-arts causes I care about.

In 2021, I was selected as one of 100 Agents of Change for In Place of War’s creative activism programme, where I developed the Museum of School Exclusion.

I was also one of 50 freelancers who formed part of the Mayor of London’s Creative Freelancers: Shaping London’s Recovery programme, led by Fuel Theatre.
