About me
My passion for filmmaking, especially video editing, began 20 years ago at the age of 12.As soon as I finished secondary school I jumped straight into the world of Film & TV production where I could use industry standard software and equipment on a weekly basis and rapidly increase my skills - I went on to complete 6 years of Film & Television Production education (1 diploma, 2 degrees) which concluded in 2014 where I graduated with a 2:1 BA Honours degree and directed/shot/edited an award winning documentary as my final year film.
I landed my first paid role as a Video Editor & Videographer in 2013 whilst still on my 2nd year of university. I spent my 5 month summer that year working full-time and was offered a full-time job for once I graduated university the following year. I started working 3 days after my graduation and worked for Gavsy Media for almost 8 years before becoming freelance in 2020.
Freelance life saw me edit: My first 3 feature films, an array of music videos, short films, a social media campaign for Samsung, research videos, heaps of promos, podcasts, social content and lots of events.
At the beginning of 2022 I decided I really wanted to sink my teeth into one place and become part of something fun and exciting where I could develop my skills even further and become part of something exciting. I was craving to be surrounded by passionate people and find somewhere I could thrive.
In February 2022 I found Coolr, the social media digital marketing agency. An incredibly exciting place to be and everything I hoped I’d find. I applied and landed the job as their very first in-house video editor. Since I joined I have edited over 400 social media videos for brands such as: Samsung, Lidl, Dolby, Lyft, Burger King, Doritos, Deliveroo, Free Now, Dreams, Flora Butter, Trainline - the list goes on as we’re forever winning new and exciting clients! I joined at a time that Coolr had just launched Coolr Studios and I have seen the team grow from strength to strength and we have recently employed our second video editor.
I could not be happier that my biggest passion in life has given me such an exciting and fulfilling career where I can continue to learn, grow, and watch as videos I've edited reach millions of views!
