I have cast work which won prizes at the Cannes Lions, Creative Circle Awards, British Arrows, Kinsale Sharks and three D&AD Pencils for Casting : Pride In London TVC’ (2018), Age UK/ Cadburys TVC (2021) and Co-op Christmas TVC (2021) plus I‘ve won seven Casting Directors’ Association Awards.

I was voted Mandy Casting Director Of the Year in 2019 – I’m an avid theatregoer and a long time supporter of the Big House Theatre Company and of Scene & Heard Theatre mentoring charity. I really enjoy working with their young, diverse, aspiring actors from disadvantaged backgrounds. I believe in inclusivity and, over the years, have cast a number LGBTQ+ and disability projects.
