Crew Listing


Description

I began working on professional photo shoots at 17, collaborating with brands such as Chanel, JD Sports, Footasylum, GHD, Tommy Hilfiger, No7 and others. Over the past year I have also worked on two short films due for release in the new year, and I have previous experience as an Assistant Director in multiple theatre productions. Across film sets I have taken on a range of assistant roles and worked as a runner, giving me a strong understanding of on-set operations and the collaborative nature of production.

My strongest passions are reading, writing and film—storytelling is at the centre of everything I do. I have written four TV shows and a movie series, and I spend every day developing them: refining characters, exploring emotional arcs, and shaping narratives that truly resonate with an audience. I naturally analyse the media I consume, identifying missed opportunities, character inconsistencies or structural weaknesses, and using them to strengthen my own creative work. I am constantly building vision boards, story documents and character studies (Pinterest is basically an extension of my brain).

I am particularly interested in roles related to scriptwriting, development and creative support, but I am equally enthusiastic about assisting, running and any position that allows me to learn from and contribute to a team of creatives. I bring drive, curiosity and genuine dedication to every project I’m part of. In addition to my creative experience, I hold an LLB Law degree and have two years of legal experience, which have strengthened my organisation, communication, fast thinking and problem-solving skills.

I would bring passion, determination and a strong work ethic to any role, and I’m excited to continue growing within the film and TV industry.


Special Interests

I am constantly reading, watching films, or daydreaming about the worlds and characters I’m building. I’ve written four TV shows and a movie series so far, and I’m always tweaking them—adding small details, rewriting scenes in my head, or imagining how an audience might feel in a particular moment. I love analysing the stories I consume too; whenever a show or book falls short, I can’t help but think about how I would fix it or what could have made it more impactful. I also have a huge love for character work. I make vision boards on Pinterest for almost every project I create, building entire lives for the people in my stories. It’s my favourite part of the process—figuring out what makes someone tick, what they fear, what they want, and how that shapes every choice they make.

Beyond writing, I’m really drawn to the collaborative side of film. I love being around other creatives, learning from them, supporting them, and seeing how all the different pieces come together to build something meaningful. Whether it’s script-related work, assisting, running, or anything that lets me be part of that creative energy, I’m happiest when I’m contributing to a story bigger than myself. I’m especially interested in how stories shape audience experience, how characters evolve, and how creative teams bring those ideas to life on set. I’m drawn to roles that involve writing, script development or supporting creative departments, and I’m equally motivated by opportunities to work closely with writers, directors and producers. My enthusiasm for film, writing and collaborative creativity drives everything I do.
