ABOUT
I am a filmmaker and photographer with a first-class degree in Television Production and a Master’s degree in Film from Falmouth University. My academic journey allowed me to develop both my technical expertise and my creative voice, giving me a solid foundation to work across a wide variety of projects. Over the years I have gained experience in multiple filmmaking roles including Director, Director of Photography, Writer and Editor. I have also explored a broad range of genres such as short dramas, documentaries, horror, promotional material and music videos. This versatility means I am confident managing every stage of the production process, from developing an idea and writing a script to shooting, editing and delivering the finished film.
​
Although I am capable of working independently and taking a project from concept to completion, I absolutely love collaborating with others. For me, some of the most rewarding experiences come from being part of a team and helping to bring someone else’s creative vision to life. I thrive on the energy, problem-solving and creative exchange that happens on set and in the edit suite when people come together to tell a story.
​
Photography is another passion of mine that has grown alongside my film work. I specialise in outdoor and portrait photography, focusing on making people look and feel cool while capturing their personality in a natural, authentic way. In addition to portraiture, I also enjoy nature photography and astrophotography, finding inspiration in the changing landscapes and night skies around me. My professional experience includes photographing school portraits, creating headshots for actors and performers, covering community events such as carnivals, gigs and local festivals, and working as a photo retoucher for a London-based company that specialised in actor headshots. Studying film and television has not only refined my cinematography skills but also sharpened my eye for composition and lighting in still photography.
​
Alongside my creative work, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring. I previously worked as a Film & TV teaching assistant at a performing arts academy for young people aged 5 to 18. This role gave me the chance to pass on my knowledge, guide students through the filmmaking process and help them develop their own creative skills and confidence. Seeing young people discover their potential and tell their own stories has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my career so far.
​
I also have a background in theatre and acting, having studied acting at college. This early training in performance and storytelling taught me how to connect with audiences and convey meaning through character, movement and emotion. Theatre helped me gain confidence as a teenager and continues to shape how I approach both filmmaking and photography today, reminding me that at the heart of every project is a story waiting to be shared.
Combining my academic background, hands-on experience, and a genuine love for storytelling, I bring creativity, adaptability and enthusiasm to every project I take on. Whether I’m directing a short drama, shooting a documentary, retouching a portrait or supporting young people as they develop their skills, my goal is always the same: to create powerful, authentic visuals that resonate with audiences.

FILMMAKER | PHOTOGRAPHER | EDITOR
ETHOS
White & Wolf is a concept I'm working on for a production company that specialises in creating showreel/showcase films for young people who are interested in performing arts but are financially less fortunate than others. Often, it's the more wealthier individuals who are able to sign to talent agencies, due to their families being able to afford to send their kids to extra curricular classes from a young age and have access to resources that others may not. I, myself am from a very under-privileged background and feel as though I was not offered the same opportunities as some of my peers. I grew up in a single-parent household and I am the first person in my family to go to university.
My production company will not only provide high-quality showcase films for aspiring performers, but further down the line, we’ll also offer workshops and mentorship program to help bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. Every young person deserves a chance to pursue their dreams, regardless of their financial background, and I'm committed to making that a reality through my company.
The company aims to collaborate with students and youth groups, offering affordable film production services to help individuals, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, gain exposure in the performing arts industry. To sustainably fund this mission, higher-priced services like wedding videography and advertising production will also be offered. Clients will hopefully find appeal in supporting this cause, as proceeds will fund the production of original short films that individuals will be credited for and be submitted to film festivals.
