Biography

I have worked as a freelance filmmaker for several years, specialising in producing and assembly editing; with running experience working across various parts of the UK. One of my short documentaries, titled ‘Lincolnshire Lights: The Night Light Café’, won the University of Lincoln’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion award in 2023 and was commissioned by NHS Lincolnshire. In 2022, Following my First Class bachelor’s degree in Media Production and my Masters in Film Production, I started working in Education as a Film & Media Technician and a Higher Education Media Teacher. This role allowed me to develop my knowledge of camera operation, editing skills, and working within a production. With the ever-evolving technological landscape, I’m keen to continue researching and learning about how new advancements can impact production workflows.
