About me

I am a graduate of English Literature and Creative Writing from the Univesity of East Anglia. I was entertainment editor for the uni website (TSW), completed a script writing programme with Screen East, was selected for Talent Lab Media Hub at the University of East London, interned for Muzik and Jockey Slut, national dance music culture magazines, contributed music and fashion articles to Outline, regional dance music magazine, and presented an electronic music (IDM) show on Livewire Radio and on local hospital radio. An accomplished artist, I have exhibited images in a national art gallery and several regional exhibitions, as well as online, having been an artist's model. I have also some acting experience, having performed in Shakesperian productions, featured in an advert and several short films and television documentaries. I also volunteered at the Roundhouse Theatre, Camden and for three film festivals - East Film, Bird's Eye View, and Optronica.
