I am a hard-working university graduate with a passion for creative writing across all genres and forms, drawn to shedding light on underrepresented stories. With strong collaborative capabilities and an acute attention to detail, I am eager to put my artistic and literary skills to use in a creative or editorial field. I completed my BA in English Literature with Creative Writing, developing prose, poems and scripts across multiple genres including comedy, horror, coming-of-age and fantasy. For my final-year dissertation, I wrote the first 20 minutes of a feature-length screenplay following a child coming to terms with her disability with the help of a magical shadow familiar. While I don't yet have industry experience, I am eager to learn and help tell stories which deserve a place onscreen.
