About me

I stumbled across the world of filmmaking in 2012 when I was searching on YouTube for videos on a game I liked at the time. I didn't expect to find a large community of creators who made short films and shows from this game, I was fascinated and wanted to try for myself. It was a hobby I loved, which I didn't realise at the time, was giving me the basic skills to make a career out of filmmaking. Opening my eyes to the bigger picture of creating stories for the big screen or Television. I was teaching myself how to edit videos, write scripts, basic camera work and directing while being in high school and unsure of what I wanted to do in the future.
​
Since then I have grown passionate about video and making a career out of my hobby, taking creative media in college and later university. I love how creative and moving video is as an art form, it creates emotion in the viewer but most importantly tells a story. Some of the best work can tell you everything about the story, without any need dialogue. To show the viewer, not tell the viewer.

During my studies and having the opportunities to work on projects. I found that my place is in post production as an editor. I love being the one to bring the whole production together into the final film or episode.
​
I graduated Birmingham City University in July 2019 with a 2:1 degree in Media and Communications and now looking for entry level work in the creative industry as a junior post-production editor. During my time after graduation I have been working part time, while continuing to learn more about the industry and my chosen profession. I am always trying to better myself and my knowledge, doing what I can to stay updated and further improve my skills.
