From starting at UCL, I knew nothing about theatre; I am now at a point where I work professionally - this proves that Stage Crew really can give you opportunities in life. I want to be part of providing students with this.

I have worked on over 17 Blooms shows during my time in Stage Crew and in a variety of roles, from Designer (Opera 2026) to Sound Designer (Spamalot, Jazz 2025/ 2026, Carousel and CSM (Opera 2025), Director/ Producer (Billy & Co). I have gained a great understanding of how the theatre works, the requirements of each role and where I could be most supportive. I know what I would need to do in my role to be successful in supporting Stage Crew society. My role would involve representing the interests of the society to other producing societies, wider ArtsUCL/ SU, and Bloomsbury staff. Having worked on countless shows building relationships across these groups, and as Arts and Humanities Faculty Representative interacting with faculty and wider SU staff, I understand the complexity of our society and would be able to facilitate conversations.

I would prioritise:

• Accessibility – I aim to support those who may struggle to access the theatre due to disability, experience and confidence.
• Supporting the wider committee – Overseeing that we are all completing our tasks in line with our goals
• Training programmes – Designed to give new students stepping stones into the world of theatre
• Stage Crew interest – Keeping our interests at the heart of all conversations.
