About

With an educational background spanning both the sciences and the arts, I combine analytical thinking with creative storytelling. My experience across media companies, museums and schools as a content creator and teacher has shaped my passion for communicating complex ideas through engaging formats, such as video, presentations and interactive content.

I enjoy creating original, audience-focused narratives that inform, entertain and spark curiosity. These experiences have strengthened my design, organisational and interpersonal skills, as well as my ability to adapt messages to different audiences. I am eager to continue developing this expertise in roles that value creativity, clarity and impact.
