Noted for my versatility as a freelance writer, I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with prestigious entities such as the British Broadcasting Corporation's online platforms and autonomous production companies over the course of the past three years.
My extensive portfolio is predominantly comprised of humorous scripts, but I am currently broadening my scope to incorporate dramatic pieces, with a specific emphasis on a television series set in Glasgow, which is inspired by my experiences as an outreach youth worker and my work with hard-to-reach young people.
As a proud member of the Alternative Sanity Bureau, a unique sketch troupe that boldly tackles the complex and often stigmatized topic of mental health, I am thrilled to be a part of a collective that is dedicated to injecting humor and approachability into the conversation. Through our engaging videos and live shows, including a notable performance at the esteemed Glasgow Comedy Festival, we strive to bring a sense of levity and understanding to mental health issues, thereby fostering an environment where open and honest discussions can thrive. As someone who has recently been diagnosed with Cyclothymic disorder, a mild form of bipolar disorder, I am intimately connected to the group's mission to normalize and demystify mental health discussions, and I am committed to using my platform to help break down the barriers that often surround these vital conversations.
As a dedicated professional with a strong affiliation with the Alternative Sanity Bureau, I am deeply invested in pursuing projects that prioritize mental health, and I am more than willing to engage in collaborative efforts with like-minded individuals or organizations to advance this crucial cause.
Beyond my work with the Alternative Sanity Bureau, I am particularly enthusiastic about initiatives that focus on mental health, and I am eager to contribute my skills and expertise to help drive meaningful progress in this area.
As a seasoned youth worker with an impressive 10-year track record in outreach and detached youth work, I am deeply passionate about projects that effectively engage young people from marginalized or hard-to-reach backgrounds, recognizing the immense value in empowering these individuals and fostering a sense of belonging and connection.
I am also committed to providing training and guidance to others on a small-scale basis, leveraging my extensive experience and expertise to support the growth and development of these projects, and to help ensure that they are well-equipped to make a positive impact in the lives of those they serve.
