Writing is my passion and I majored in English and Theatre Arts at university (where I took part in an intensive Shakespeare course in Stratford On Avon, exploring backstage and onstage at the RSC Theatre and taking part in a workshop with actor Brian Cox). I've almost 20 years of experience in teaching English in primary schools. Over those years, I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills and teaching creative writing online. I’m just as passionate about Shakespeare and breaking down pre-conceived ideas to help make the plays more accessible and fascinating to younger generations. I’ve led writing and drama workshops with 9 – 11 year olds on Shakespeare’s plays- including Macbeth, as well as having played a Wyrd Sister onstage.
I’ve been lucky enough to watch the Royal Shakespeare Company perform Macbeth at the Globe Theatre in London and enjoy bringing the inspiration from the performance into classes.
