Freelance Actor, Practitioner at Frantic Assembly, and University Tutor at Coventry University
It is a pleasure to work with the University of Portsmouth Entrepreneurs in Residence Programme. I believe fundamentally in sending the elevator back down, sharing knowledge and skills and in empowering students with those skills as well as opportunities that will see them succeed in their chosen fields. The more I share with those coming up after me, the more I am pushed and challenged to go further. My collaborative working background has proven time and time again that when we work together, everybody wins.
