About me
First Class Honours in Politics and Theatre from the University of Goldsmiths I am a 24-year-old creative producer and facilitator raised in London. I graduated from Goldsmiths University with First class honours in Politics and Theatre, where most of my work was based on community action through installations and workshops using audio-visual work. The focus of my work is based on communication, identity, gender inequality, and online extremism. I have 4+ years of ground experience in inclusivity, sexual well-being, and sexual violence prevention. ​ I produce events, workshops, photographs, film, and audio-visual work for underrepresented members of society and activists. Using art and creativity as a medium to communicate empathy, humanity, and reality is at the heart of my practice. In the past, I have developed and delivered workshops to aid workplaces and organizations to create a safer workspace. ​ I have experience consulting for charitable organizations and creative companies with a specific focus on sexual violence prevention.
