A graduate of both the Belgrade Theatre’s Critical Mass and the Royal Court Theatre local invitation playwriting schemes and 2014 alumni for the Orange Tree Theatre invitation playwright initiative. 2017 BBC Hot Talent List and 2017 BBC Drama Room following on from my short film TITS (BBC 3) part of THE BREAK II anthologies and BBC/Talawa London Voices 2016. I was runner up for the 2017 Mercury Playwriting Award for my play SHADOW KINGDOMS, with this play going on secure a 2019 Channel Four Playwright Bursary award after I staged the play at Theatre503 June 2018.

Most recently, 2021 - I worked on ITVs CORONATION STREET part of their Original Voices Initiative leading to my first full-length TV EP commission, which was broadcast in June 2021 (available on the ITV Hub). Alongside my Audible Emerging Playwrights commission, MISCELLANEOUS 0125, a rom-com treasure hunt was released also.
