Creative media professional with experience in video editing, videography, photography, radio and TV production. With a BSc in Media Production, I’ve produced both documentary and Slow TV‑style work to explore how audiences engage with different formats as part of my dissertation, giving me a strong understanding of narrative, pacing and viewer retention. I enjoy the mix of technical focus and creative problem‑solving that goes into shaping a project, creating effective storytelling works that resonate with audiences. Recognised as Student of the Year during my postgraduate studies, I’ve built a reputation for producing high‑quality work and approaching new challenges with enthusiasm and curiosity. As a part‑time lecturer, I strengthened my communication skills and ability to guide others through complex creative processes. I’m now looking to contribute to media teams where I can apply my editing skills, production experience and passion for crafting engaging visual stories across a range of formats.
