About me
By training I am a social science researcher. I have good interviewing and research skills and have been working in the last few years to use creative methods (film making, theatre) to think about how we best communicate with a wider audience. As someone who initially trained in medicine I have a particular skill set which enables me to work with scientists and clinicians to produce web-content about medical or scientific themes. I have made a number of films for Epilepsy Research Uk about epilepsy and about people's experiences with epilepsy and have been developing my skills in animation and film making. I'm also currently working on a documentary and on a theatre script both about mental health related themes. I am particularly interested in using collage and found objects in my work and animation, and in blending animation and documentary style film making.
