Filmmaker

I am a dynamic and passionate first year student at Norwich University of the Arts, studying a course in Film and Moving Image Production at Norwich University of the Arts. My journey into filmmaking began with a fascination for story-telling and has evolved into a deep commitment to creating impactful visual narratives. With hands-on experience directing and editing short films, I bring a blend of creativity, technical proficiency and collaborative spirit. I thrive on challenges and I’m not afraid of hard work to reach my dream. I am eager to contribute to innovative projects in the film and television industry.
