Summary

I’m a Drama, Film, and Television graduate from the University of Exeter with hands-on experience across various areas of film and TV production. I’ve coordinated, researched, organized production materials, and supported crews on set, gaining a strong understanding of what it takes to keep productions running smoothly behind the scenes. Comfortable collaborating with different teams and handling tasks from pre-production through post-production, I’ve also gained valuable experience performing both in front of the camera and on stage. Along the way, I’ve developed skills in editing and sound design, combining creative and technical abilities.
