About me
From a young age, I have always wanted to tell stories, and I am interested in how to communicate and perform these stories. At Jaques Lecoq theatre school in Paris I learned to observe people and their behaviour, and I am constantly coming up with way to capture the ordinary and the extraordinary and to explore different characters.
This interest led me to start a degree in the Liberal Arts MA program in 2015 where I could focus on drama, film and history, my passions, and how they interconnect. My historical studies got me to engage academically with the public realm of history in media.
I took practical film making classes which taught me everything I needed to know to make films on my own (see showreel). As such I have developed an appreciation of how films are made, how to engage audiences and have also had the opportunity to hone my film-making technology skills through hands-on editing with software such as Adobe Premier Pro. I was also an active Dramsoc member at the University of Bristol, and took part performing and directing in many shows.
My MA included a Study Abroad program which I spent in Los Angeles at Occidental College nurturing my love for film and storytelling. I met other like-minded showbiz friends with whom I wrote and produced a short film. Since returning to Bristol, I have worked on several projects independently, and have just finished making a documentary and a short film.
Alongside studying and film-making I have also done a lot of work experience in the industry. Last year I did work experience at Silverback Films; I spent my summer doing work experience at BAFTA LA where I worked at high profile events looking after BAFTA VIPs; I volunteered at Encounters Film Festival in Bristol; and in December I did two weeks’ work experience at Wall to Wall.
In the future I aim to work in editorial so that I can tell stories illustrating our common humanity. I am currently looking for Junior Researcher roles in production in the South.
