BAFTA Student Award Nominated filmmaker and dedicated storyteller with an MA in Documentary Filmmaking from UWE Bristol, I've been driven by a lifelong passion for exploring the world and translating stories into impactful films. With experience as a Shooting Researcher on a prominent BBC Two documentary series, I've honed my research, filming, and editing skills, undertaking projects from concept to completion.

A trip to India at 14 ignited this spark, leading me to pursue filmmaking and immerse myself in rich cultures. Over the years, I explored Asia and Central America, discovering diverse stories and landscapes. From capturing the raw power of a Khmer Rouge survivor's story in Cambodia to showcasing the transformative work of NGOs in Central America, I've been drawn to narratives of hardship, resilience, and hope.

I've embraced diverse avenues to develop my creative voice, working with events, musicians, restaurants, lifestyle brands, health & fitness professionals, and NGOs. It has been an enriching and varied journey.

Health and fitness have been a constant source of inspiration since childhood. In 2020, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in India, a practice I've nurtured for many years. In 2022 I challenged myself with a half marathon, raising funds for the Meningitis Research Foundation, a deeply personal cause. I understand the importance of holistic well-being.

My recent BAFTA Student Award-nominated documentary, "Fight Like a Tyson," showcases my ability to translate stories into impactful films through thoughtful planning, creative storytelling, and technical skills. My true passion lies in crafting compelling documentaries that resonate with audiences and leave a lasting mark.

​I'm eager to connect with individuals who share my passion for documentary filmmaking. My ultimate goal is to become an established self-shooting PD, creating powerful films that spark compassion, connection, and awareness.
