About me

I've been involved with the film industry for over nine years, starting with my secondary school with a film studies focus where I've worked in groups to create several advertisements, handful of interviews, a visual poem and half a dozen short student films. From there on I continued into higher education on Edinburgh Napier University where I recieved BA (Hons) in English & Film.

On the English & Film course I took several Creative Writing, TV studies and Film Theory modules on top of many literature and culture oriented modules. The most important class I took was TV Scriptwriting led by Kate Davidson where I had to submit a television pilot script. In the last academic year I also started a Creative Writing Society at the university which brought in a lot of younger people who work together on long-term projects.

I then went on to get an MA degree in Screenwriting where I undertook courses in script reading, script editing, script coverage and market analysis. I also wrote four short films, a 30' coming-of-age pilot episode and a 60' fantasy/medical drama pilot. Since graduating in summer 2021, I moved to London and worked in a production company Joejack Entertainment as a Development Assistant.
