Description

“You’re the best we couldn’t have done it without you”
“Honestly the best runner we’ve ever seen”
“Crikey, that’s the best cup of tea I’ve had in years”

Having graduated from Durham University with a BA in German and Spanish in 2022, I have spent the last two years in Paris completing a Masters in Creative Writing and then teaching English at the Sorbonne Université. Upon my return to the UK, I landed my first job as a Production Assistant on the set of a short film, and loved every second of it. Having been described as hardworking, unflappable, highly organised and motivated, as well as the best runner they’ve ever worked with, I have taken the decision to pursue a career in film production, a dream which I have somewhat neglected over the past two years, but am thrilled to have rediscovered the spark, energy, drive and passion for filmmaking that was always there.


Special Interests

I speak four languages, am classically trained to grade 8 on several instruments, played rugby semi-professionally in Spain and wrote my undergraduate dissertation on the role surrealist cinema played in sexual and political revolutionary movements within the Iberian Peninsula from the 1950s to the 1980s. I have taught music composition, English, German and Spanish in a variety of languages alongside my work at the Sorbonne, and completed a short film while at Durham University in the role of DOP, a continuation of my love for photography and the visual arts. In my free time, I read, write, play and compose music, write short stories and poetry, draw, play rugby (amongst other team sports) and go to pub quizzes.
