About me
My journey into content creation has been nothing short of exhilarating, filled with experiences and opportunities that have shaped my creative path. It all began when I was just 18 years old, winning a content creation competition at the Canon UK Young Creative Programme. This early recognition fueled my passion for photography and content creation, setting me on a remarkable trajectory. ​ At the young age of 21, I had the privilege of becoming a Canon Ambassador. This role allowed me to travel across schools in the UK, where I had the opportunity to mentor secondary school and college students. It was a rewarding experience to inspire and guide the next generation of content creators. ​ Following my role as a Canon Ambassador, I ventured into the world of mentoring as a Creative Mentor at IdeasFoundation. This phase of my career involved collaborating with industry giants such as BBC, Channel 4 and ITV. Together with aspiring young creatives, we explored imagination, pushing boundaries to create innovative content that left a lasting impact. ​ My journey then took an exciting turn as I transitioned into pre-production roles as a Production Assistant and Production Secretary for Fulwell73 and OptomenTV. These esteemed production houses specialise in producing unscripted TV shows and being part of their teams allowed me to gain invaluable insights into the behind-the-scenes of television production. ​ As my career evolved, I embraced the world of freelancing, From photography to working on music videos, live productions for events and content creation for various companies. Now exploring fashion, beauty and product photography. Contact me for collaborations, jobs or just say hey!
