Since qualifying in 1999, I've worked for Vocaleyes, Mind's Eye, Sightlines, ITFC (now Deluxe Media) and independently in all sorts of venues to a wide range of audiences. I have provided Audio Description for theatre, screen, opera, disability arts events, live events, outdoor performances and training videos and created museum audio described guides. I also have broadcasting and editing experience.

Trained and qualified in 2009 under the See-A-Voice project.  Winner of Guildford Mayor's Award for Access in the Arts (2013) and an occasional contributor to 'Poetry Please' (BBC Radio 4)

Describer for nearly twenty years, experience of describing all forms of theatre, opera, dance including for RSC, WNO, Vocaleyes, Birmingham Rep.

Access & Inclusivity Matters

I qualified on the VocalEyes: Audio Description for live theatre training course in 2019. I co-described & Juliet at The Shaftesbury, London in March 2020. Over the last year I have been writing AD scripts for films, documentaries and series for Iyuno SDI, having been recruited and trained by Veronika Hyks. I am available for all types of audio description work, whether live, remotely delivered, or recorded.

I also deliver Everyday Accessibility training to arts, leisure and community organisations. My training is based on my 23 year career as an Access Officer in a large commercial theatre. It focuses on embedding inclusive customer service for a broad range of access requirements and across departments. Additional workshops focus on Front of House and customer-facing teams, and how to set-up and successfully deliver assisted performances.
