I'm a London-based filmmaker and production professional with hands-on experience across short films and documentaries, including producing, directing, and editing roles. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, coordinating logistics, interviews, and on-set problem solving while continually expanding my technical and storytelling skills. I started in hospitality and moved into production, where I was promoted from Set Runner to 1st Assistant Director, managed an 18-person crew, and contributed to research, scripting, and editing for several projects. I enjoy tackling on-site challenges, building strong relationships with cast and crew, and turning complex ideas into compelling on-screen stories.
