I am a senior script writer and editor specialising in theatre and audio narrative. I refine dialogue, structure, pacing, and character across stage and audio projects, including song-led and score-driven work. I elevate early-stage scripts into cohesive, production-ready pieces through close collaboration with composers, directors, and creative teams. My work on The Flock earned a British Podcast Award nomination, and I’m an Oxford graduate.
