About Me

Early Days/ Studies

I was a late bloomer when it came to loving the media, but when I bloomed, I bloomed hard. An amazing media teacher helped me find my passion, through film, and helped me secure an A grade.

Knowing I wanted to be involved in the industry, but not sure what aspect, I applied for a Film Studies BA at De Montfort University- Leicester. There I learnt lots about all aspects of film, but I primarily gravitated to screenwriting.

From ‘The Assignment’ short film (in portfolio), and the screenwriting module in the third year, I found a real passion for creating exciting stories with, funny, fleshed out characters.

The natural next step was to polish my craft through a masters, and the course at UAL was extremely industry based helped prepare its students for the future.

Throughout the course I learnt all aspects of screenwriting from; formatting, character arcs, dialogue, structure, how to work collaboratively, how to give feedback in a constructive manner, theme, pacing, etc.

Since Graduation

Since graduating with a distinction in 2021 I have been working on my TV idea “The Second coming of Christie”, and have been looking for work on set.

I mostly write Comedy, Drama, and Sci-Fi but I’m capable in many other genres.

I think the most important aspect of a good show/film is in the characters. If the plot is interesting but the characters are as flat as a pancake, then it’s generally not worth my time. I always aim to make memorable, witty characters, that have great flaws- but an empathetic inner-drive too.

For a few years I volunteered at ‘Lift-Off Global Network’, as a Script Reader- I reviewed and wrote extended feedback weekly. Also, I used to get paid to write reports for ‘The Golden Script Competition’.
