I'm a creative and detail-oriented media professional with a passion for storytelling through both words and visuals. My background in journalism and digital content creation has helped me develop skills in video editing, photojournalism, animation, digital effects and writing for various platforms. I'm currently pursuing an MA in Digital Effects at Bournemouth University, where I'm expanding my knowledge about post-production and visual storytelling tools like Houdini and Nuke. I've worked with organizations such as the Commonwealth Youth Council and initiatives like News Sense and Explified, creating content that informs, engages, and inspires. Whether editing a video, capturing footage and photos, or writing an article, I aim to tell stories that feel relatable and empowering, and I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments while pushing creative boundaries. I’m passionate about using media as a tool for impact, representation, and youth empowerment.
