About me

I am a writer and performer living in the North West. Having written on many long running BBC TV series including DOCTORS, CASUALTY, FATHER BROWN, SHAKESPEARE AND HATHAWAY and THE DUMPING GROUND, I have also created and written dramas for BBC Radio 4.

I wrote 3 episodes of spy thriller RED ELECTION, streaming on Disney+ and most recently on series 2 of PATIENCE for Eagle Eye/Channel 4.I have been part of TV writers rooms developing series for Endor/Fox, Netflix, Subotica and Mopar Studios/Viaplay. I have original TV series in development, and I regularly teach an online class for Script Writing North. I also offer Story and Script Consultancy.

I originally trained as an actor in Manchester, working for many years across film, TV and radio; and with theatre companies including Kaboodle, Sphinx Theatre, Manchester Royal Exchange, Contact Theatre, Library Theatre, National Theatre Studios and Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

I left acting behind after becoming a parent to focus full time on my TV writing career. In 2024, I made a foray back into performance via stand-up and cabaret. Supported by a Develop Your Creative Practice Grant from Arts Council England, I recently developed my first autobiographical solo show Mother Dark with a work-in-progress sharing at 53two, (Manchester) in Nov 2025. A further research and development phase is planned for this year.
