About me
I am a passionate and enthusiastic individual, with a broad background in many cultural and artistic fields, looking to develop my career as a writer & scriptwriter. I am dependable and sociable, and therefore able to work both independently and collaboratively. At Bournemouth & Farnham Film Schools I worked on many ground-breaking short films, many of which enjoyed festival successes around the world. I have written for theatre, radio and film, moving effortlessly from comedy & satire to drama. In addition to this I write short-stories, flash-fiction and reviews, drawing from my sharply developed worldview. I am keen to expand, not only my own views on what writing has the potential to achieve, but to help others find their own quintessentially unique voices
