Background Information
I live in Slough and have been involved in theatre work for as long as I can remember. Outside of theatre, I have worked on the rides at a theme park and at a special needs school. Now I am here at BSL Plus Ltd..
​
How did you come to choose to work alongside the Deaf /Deafblind?
I have been interested in BSL for years since learning to fingerspell the alphabet as a child. As I have become older, I wanted to provide access and support to the Deaf and Deafblind community. I feel this is a great way to use both my skills.

Tell me an interesting story:
I used to work at a theme park and as part of my training, I had to walk the stairs of a 85ft ride while it was running. The people on the ride looked very confused when they passed me.
My favourite thing is:
Acting and singing. So musicals are a win for me!
​
I don't like:
Mints, beans and coffee.
​
What frightens you?
Dark spaces - only because I am worried someone will jump out at me.
​
Do you like Marmite?
Yes, especially with cheese!
​
Do you keep ketchup in the fridge or cupboard?
Fridge once it's been opened.
