About

As Placement and Recruitment Co-ordinator for the MA in Film and Television: Research and Production at the University of Birmingham, I am committed to sourcing valuable work experience opportunities for our students and developing strong links between the MA and industry, within the West Midlands and beyond. The MA is designed around two key pillars: employability and storytelling.

If you work in media production and would be interested in finding out more about supporting our students through internships, please get in touch.

I am also the author of two historical eBooks, and am undertaking a part-time audio-visual PhD exploring Birmingham's representation in popular film and television.
