I studied a degree in drama before embarking on a career in television. I quickly realised that my greatest passion was getting to the heart of a story and so began my journey into script writing. For the past twenty years I have written on shows including; Waterloo Road, Casualty, The Bay, Skins and Eastenders.

I was drawn to celebrancy following the loss of my father. I realised the importance of a sensitively written and well delivered ceremony and how it can help in the grieving process. The opportunity to help and support people during a difficult time is such an honour and one that I take seriously. Listening to your loved one’s life story and creating a ceremony to reflect their lives is a huge privilege and one that I promise to undertake with compassion and respect.

Aside from my love of writing I also enjoy public speaking and have acted in many plays and even dabbled in a bit of stand-up comedy.

I live in Crystal Palace with my husband and two teenage daughters. I’m a keen cook, avid reader and I love to travel. My favourite things are coffee, recipe books and eating with friends and family.
