I believe that everyone has a story to tell and I’m passionate about helping others find their voice. I’m an Irish artist wandering across countries in search of great tea, cake and stories.
I’m a big believer in the power of storytelling to impact hearts and minds. I believe that theatre can change lives and have a far-reaching impact on people and communities. I’m committed to working creatively with writers, theatre-makers and communities to create new work that is truthful, purposeful and visually striking.
As a performer and storyteller, my work has seen me perform in yurts, theatres, bars, city parks, museums, fringe festivals across Ireland, UK & Europe, on boats, even suspended upside down from a wire over 30ft in the air.
This website is a place where I share my current projects and connect with other creatives and lovers of all things “story”.
During my time as Storyteller in Residence at Toynbee Hall (a 130 year old anti-poverty charity in London’s East End) I facilitated storytelling workshops for community groups and local schools, as well as supporting the local communities celebrating their diverse heritage and including those sometime overlooked and underrepresented stories as part of our heritage projects.

My most recent solo show “No One is Coming” is on tour. It mixes epic Irish myths with dark humour and vulnerable personal stories. A storytelling show not only about those with mental health issues, but about those that care for them, love them and grow up with them. It’s a love story to my mother that I’ll probably never send.
Encompassing elements of Irish folklore, this storytelling performance is full of myth, funny stories and tough home truths. It’s a rollercoaster ride inside a fun (if slightly traumatized) Irish woman’s brain.
