As long as I can remember, I’ve had a love for storytelling & filmmaking
In 2020 I Graduated from The University the Creative Arts film production course with a 1st, specialising in Editing. After graduation I worked at Splice and Roundtable Post Production as an Assistant Editor where I deepened my knowledge and experience in post production, before becoming a freelance Editor & Edit Assistant
As an Editor I am always aiming to build on my abilities by working on a variety of Fiction and Documentary projects. Always focused on making the piece resonate with people & most importantly make them feel something whether that be Joy, Tension, Fear, Relief or Sadness.
