A little more about me

I guess my creative honeymoon began with the first play I put on for my family. With sock puppets in tow, I took them on a short trip into my burgeoning sense of creativity. I can’t remember the plot of the piece, but I do remember coming away thinking, “wow. Telling stories is cool.”

Skip ahead some years and we land at Kingston College, where I studied Performing Arts – specifically acting – and would end up singing, dancing, acting, and writing my way into a principal actor role within the charity MeWe Arts & Education’s youth theatre company, with whom I performed three plays, went on tour around England, performed for politicians, and received my first taste of writing and directing for stage.

Later I went on to study Creative & Professional Writing at University of East London, where I practised writing novels, both fictional and non-fiction, poetry, screenplays, plays, and other creative writing-based schools of thought. For my dissertation, I created a pilot for a sitcom based on two young Black men who, after finishing university, are attempting to navigate themselves through austerity, racism, and life outside the bubble of higher education. Called Kid for Today, I received the highest first-class grade in my school for the effort.

After graduating from university and moving to Germany, I’ve held a number of jobs focussed on writing, as discussed above. Through working at Creator’s Media, NRL, and Equalista, my writing has become more focussed, succinct, and my ability to create content for varying demographics has dramatically improved.

I live to entertain, educate and, most importantly, make people laugh and feel welcome. You could call these my central tenets. They’re how I carry myself and lead my creative process.

At this current moment in time, I am a published author with my first children’s book, called The Sock Snatcher, being out in the world. It's available from the digital publisher Zula.

I am also working on self-publishing a book of poetry, another children's book, a comic, and a play. No pressure, right?
