I am an accomplished photographer and filmmaker from Oxford, UK. It was in 2015 that I began exploring my passion for photography and filmmaking, but it wasn’t until moving to Brighton in 2019 that I pursued it whilst working as a Content Manager in the third sector. Upon completing a short course in Filmmaking, I achieved a Diploma in Filmmaking from the BIMM Institute, having already yielded several credits as a Producer, Self-Shooting PD, Camera Operator and Director of Photography.

As a photographer, I have worked for multiple corporate and independent clients, ranging from hotels and pubs, charities and activist organisations, performing arts and circus troops, to futher education institutions. I have had my work licensed by the Welsh National Tourist Board and Sussex County Council, the BBC, Extinction Rebellion, the Brighton Argus and several independent travel magazines across the UK.

Graduating from the University of Bristol with a BA(Hons) in English Literature in 2015 and First Class MSc in Marketing Management Practice from the University of Sheffield in 2017, I have been writing for numerous organisations including resources for several international charities, content for small business blogs, and reviews and fiction for online magazines.

I have been shortlisted for numerous national writing prizes including the Vogue Talent Competition and the Reflex Flash Fiction Award, and have written for some of the largest brands in the world including Unilever and Spotify,.
