Currently a graduate from Falmouth University, I am a keen photographer and visual artist fascinated with the making and discussion of contemporary art as well as representing current ecological concerns through visual media in a bold and easily accessible way.

I enjoy working alongside a team of creatives and have taken part in a micro-internship through RealWorks, assisting Abigail Reynolds in studio production for British Art show 9 and exhibition setup at Kestle Barton.
