Costume Supervisor/Head of Wardrobe


I have worked in theatre for the last 10 years. I moved to London in 2016 to go to RADA where I studied Theatre Costume. Since then I have worked on multiple shows in the West End, on tour, and internationally. All my work has been in the costume department, either in running wardrobe or costume supervision. My highlights are opening Heathers: The Musical in the West End after the pandemic, working at the Donmar Warehouse for almost three years during which I worked on 17 productions, and, most recently, doing the summer season at Regent’s Park’s Open Air Theatre.

STAMP was my first insight into theatre and it expanded my love and passion for it. Without them I wouldn’t have known to even pursue a career in theatre, but I am definitely much happier backstage than on it!

I’m also proud to announce that I am about to embark on my PhD in stage and screen musicals in January, proof that there are many ways to enjoy musical theatre.
