I have an extreme passion for writing, filmmaking, and cinema. As a recent 2:1 graduate from the Northern Film School, I have been passionate about making films ever since I was six years old when my father showed me Spielberg's classic film Jaws. I am an aspiring writer and director eager to gain experience in the industry and further develop my filmmaking career. Alongside filmmaking, I am a highly experienced server with five years of exemplary service in hospitality, dedicating myself to providing helpful, fast, and accurate service. I am a determined team player who is patient, compassionate, and strives to deliver the highest quality in every task I undertake.
