About me
Recent BA Recent BA Media and Communications graduate seeking entry-level roles into pre-production. A proactive and meticulous individual, with an enthusiastic ambition of working in Television, specifically orientated towards development and commissioning. I’m a people person who loves the documentation of journeys and storytelling; with a fascination towards why certain TV shows are made, why are they made now? And what do they say about our current societal climate? I am dedicated and passionate, with effective interpersonal communication skills and efficient organisation, administrative and time management skills. I am enthusiastic to apply my knowledge and skills towards creating compelling content that resonates with differing audiences from a variety of backgrounds. I am keen to creatively collaborate within a team space, to upskill, learn and grow within a professional environment.

     - London, United Kingdom
    Specialising in documentary filmmaking at University, I pursued extracurricular activities such as co-hosting a regular radio show at the University radio station during my first and second years. In my second year, I became the station's off-air manager, maintaining a part-time hospitality job, and completing two summer social media and video production internships at Healthwatch Greenwich and The Park. Since graduating, my Non-profit organisation, Girls in Film, selected my grad film to be part of their ‘Spaces and Places’ screening at Shoreditch Arts Club, February 2024.
