Summary

A fiercely resilient, highly creative, and deeply empathetic professional with a strong background in inclusive care, multidisciplinary arts, and independent production. Combining three summers of hands on leadership at a specialised disability camp with a high class foundation in film, drama, and theatre. I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where compassion and adaptability are paramount.

I am passionate about empowering others, breaking down barriers, and turning bold ideas into reality.
