I am a recent film music graduate with a passion for storytelling through sound, narrative exploration, and film studies. I seek opportunities that encourage collaboration, creativity, and continued growth as a composer and producer, particularly within film, media, or interdisciplinary art projects. I enjoy designing and delivering lectures both online and in-person, writing project briefs, marking assignments, and producing soundtracks and audio effects for themed articles. Working in large venues like the Royal Albert Hall and Symphony Hall has strengthened my ability to manage time slots and acts throughout major festivals and events.
