Impassioned from a young age by travel, wildlife, images and film.

My UWE graduation film Skive was recognised during the 2023 / 2024 awards season, including:
Royal Television Society (National Student Awards 2024) Best Film - Drama
(RTS West of England and Ch4 Skills awards 2023) Best Drama, Best Cinematography, Best Directing, Best Writing
Clapham International Film Festival 2023 Best Film
Ealing Film Festival 2023 People's Choice Award

As an independent filmmaker, unscripted & documentary projects gave me experience in Director, AP, DoP, and Editing roles.
Larger & Scripted projects added experience in Cinematography, Lighting / Gaffer, Editing / Grading, Sound and AP roles.
I hold dual UK - FR nationality, and am bilingual English/French for access to UK / European and international shoots.

As a right-brain creative, with strong visual skills and outside-the-box original thinking from learning disabilities, I use modern tools and strong teamwork skills to drive inclusivity in production.

Dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD helped guide my filmmaking education path, with 3 years of UAL filmmaking diplomas at Brighton MET, followed by 2 years completing BAhons filmmaking at UWE Bristol (with a 2yr break for Covid).

My independent skills were honed from off-the-grid and remote travel experiences. Other passions and skills include engaging with new cultures and societies, photography, art, diving, mountains, conservation, professional chef & barrista.

I have gained broad cultural and practical experience during expedition, shoot & nature trips like Costa Rica, Panama, Sri Lanka, Maldives, US Rockies (Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP, Montana), Morocco, Kenya, Malta, Italy, Slovenia and Egypt. These included sailing, diving and horse trekking.
