I'm a versatile editor and tech enthusiast blending post-production craft with practical IT know-how. Since 2020 I've been freelancing as a video editor, cutting promos, wrangling event footage, and taking on lead editor duties at Boardgamer. I enjoy shaping the look and feel of a project, directing shoots when needed, and delivering slick, watchable content. Beyond editing, I’ve taught Front-End Development at Code Nation, automated workflows at BNY Mellon, and honed problem-solving as an IT Technician with Green Thumb. Based in Leicester, I love turning complex clips into cohesive stories and exploring new tools to keep people hitting play.
