About

I am a recent graduate of Robert Gordon University, having completed my BA in Media with First Class Honours!

I want to work in video editing or other such post-production roles in TV & Film but also possess the skills and knowledge to thrive within pre-production and production roles. During my degree, my instructors identified a keen eye for analysis and a talent for semiotics, both attributes which will serve me well anywhere in the media industry.
