Stage management, Front of house Audio & Lighting.

From crunching numbers in a tax firm to lighting up the stage—my career path has been anything but ordinary. I started in finance, quickly climbing the ranks to manage a team of 12, but soon realised my true passion lay elsewhere. I explored hospitality, managing bars and working in hotel management, but something was still missing. That’s when I took a leap of faith, offering to work for free at a live events venue just to get my foot in the door. That decision changed everything.

I immersed myself in the world of live production, developing a deep knowledge of audio and lighting while working at Blackpool Winter Gardens. At the same time, I was studying Film and TV Production at college, further fuelling my understanding of the entertainment industry and strengthening my passion for the creative arts.

Then came the opportunity to join The Rock Orchestra touring theatre show, where I initially signed on as a general tech but quickly found myself stepping into dual roles as Backline Tech 2 and Stage 2. After successfully completing the UK & Ireland tour last year, I was invited back for this year’s expanded UK, Ireland, and Europe legs. With the UK leg now complete and the rest of the tour running until the end of April, I’m looking for my next challenge.

My journey has given me a unique blend of skills—from leading teams in an office setting to managing operations in hospitality and mastering the technical side of live events. Now, I’m ready to bring that experience into a role I’m truly passionate about: production coordination or production assistance.

I may not have direct experience in this role yet, but I thrive under pressure, adapt quickly, and bring an all-in attitude to everything I do. All I need is one opportunity to prove what I’m capable of.
