I've worked in the arts for 20 years in a range of roles including international choir and orchestra tour management, working in a school music department, teaching English through the creative arts in South America, founding and running a national charity dedicated to participation in cappella singing, and managing the Royal Opera House's Community Engagement Programme in Thurrock.

It was in Thurrock that I first met Together Productions and I was deeply inspired by the exciting projects I participated in. When the opportunity arose to join the team I jumped at it! Together Productions shares my belief in the power of the arts to facilitate positive social change, and my passion for the magical things that happen when people from different walks of life come together to connect, learn and create.

Favourite Together Productions moment: the launch of Together Create- a fantastic group of people coming together from across the Thurrock community to dream about what we can make together. It was full of laughter and inspiration, and buzzing with potential, connection and creativity!
