I’m a film and television graduate from University of the Arts London (UAL) with a first-class honours BA in Film & Television, and I’m passionate about producing engaging visual stories across film, exhibitions, and live productions. My experience includes collaboration and leadership in creative environments—supporting teams, solving problems quickly on set and in post, and ensuring productions run smoothly from concept through editing. Alongside my screen production background, I’ve worked in roles that blend creativity with audience-focused communication, including marketing leadership for a youth-focused nonprofit. I also have hands-on production skills using Adobe Premiere Pro and DSLR/media equipment, and I enjoy fast learning tools and workflows (including Google Workspace and Microsoft 365) to meet production deadlines. In addition to professional work, I’m driven by interests in cinema festivals, museums and galleries, and media-led exhibition curation.
