I am a second-year BA (Hons) Film Production student at the University of Brighton, with hands-on experience in screenwriting, editing, and producing films. I regularly use Final Draft, Celtx, WriterDuet and DaVinci Resolve to bring ideas to life, and I enjoy collaborating on set from concept to screen. Outside the classroom, I work as a Student Ambassador and volunteer at events, which has sharpened my communication, teamwork, and leadership skills. I’m always open to new experiences and genuinely keen to develop my skills and practice through this placement.
