I am an award-winning neurodivergent International Theatre Maker, Teaching Artist, and Creative Therapist, renowned for my diverse approach to Theatre Making. With 20 years of experience, I direct and co-create performances 'for', 'with', and 'by' young people and adults, resonating with lived experiences and addressing social-political issues.
My work lies at the intersection of theatre, (informal) education, and therapeutic practice. I aim to elevate diverse voices, deepen understanding of young people's challenges, and facilitate transformative creative conversations in theatre, educational, therapeutic contexts and my own company Collision Theatre.
I am honored to hold several fellowships, including Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts, Arts for Good Fellow for the Singapore International Foundation, and Fellow of the Higher Academy of Education. Additionally, I am an Associate of the Royal Society of Public Health.
