About me
I am a script editor and reader for film production companies, looking for the next professional step to take me onto new challenges. Nothing interests me more than human communication and storytelling. I graduated with a first from Warwick University having also finished a year abroad at the Sorbonne University in Paris. My motivation in life is born from the arts, and I find my energy in the processes of developing and honing my skills in Development and Acquisition in film and television.
