Following my degree in Accounting & Finance, I have been working in the TV & Film for over 2 years, pursuing the Assistant Director department. I am a confident runner, proficient in fast pace and changing environments. I am eager to continue to progress in the Assistant Director department. A vast amount of my experience comes from independent films, in which I have been given much more responsibility and at times, stepped up to cover as 3rd AD.

Have spent the last 6 months focusing on physio rehab on my knee - I ruptured my ACL, playing football start of last year. Doing incredibly well now (half way through recovery) and ready to get stuck back in with working on set!
