I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented Film and Television graduate from York St John University with a BA (Hons). I have a strong foundation in video editing, post-production, and digital content creation, and I'm an advanced user of the Adobe Creative Cloud. I have delivered high-quality visual content across commercial and creative projects. I produced a critically praised dissertation project, The Tim Burton Aesthetic, a documentary exploring Tim Burton's distinctive style and influences, which earned an excellent grade and tutor feedback. I understand digital audiences and have hands-on experience creating and optimising content for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. I bring a blend of technical editing skills, creativity, and trend awareness to produce engaging, platform-optimised work, and I am equipped with a professional home editing setup for remote, flexible project delivery.
