I am a creatively driven postgraduate student pursuing an MA in Creative Writing, with a background in Film Studies and Screenwriting. I have experience in fast-paced, client-focused roles that required clear communication, strong organisation, and quick problem-solving, and I have developed robust narrative and research skills through long-form writing, world-building, and script development. I work well independently and in team settings, adapt quickly to new tools and workflows, and am motivated by supporting creative projects and contributing to the smooth running of a studio environment. Over the past five years I have been developing a long-form fantasy project spanning multiple novels and a screenplay adaptation, involving structured world-building, character development, chapter planning, and meticulous documentation to maintain narrative consistency. This ongoing work has strengthened my capabilities in story development, research, revision, and long-term project management as I continue my postgraduate studies.
