I am a third-year Film and English student at the University of Bristol, with a passion for storytelling and practical filmmaking. Throughout my degree, I've explored many steps of the filmmaking process such as screenwriting, research, hands-on production, and editing. I’m excited to bring ideas to life on screen and grow my craft through collaboration. Beyond academics, I’ve built experience across videography, direction, and editing. I’ve completed personal screenwriting and film projects, volunteered and freelanced videography and editing work, as well as sound recording. I love working within a team to develop compelling stories from concept to screen and I’m eager to contribute to new creative collaborations. Here is a link to my portfolio: _Website not available.
