First and foremost I am a storyteller.
For now I am now a 28 year old care worker. During university, despite my natural lenience towards a visual medium I decided to focus on Radio - the being that Radio was one of the earliest story telling mediums, thus the focus on story becomes acute. I realised not only was I compassionate, I was tenacious too, gaining access to sensitive subjects such as the bomb disposal unit in England, and that I had a talent for adapting to people, gaining trust, which in turn produced compelling content. With a focus on Radio Documentaries / Dramas and directing, I was then lucky enough to gain a full scholarship into filmschool.
It was In 2012 my love affair with travelling began. After various 'work experiences' and 'days on the dole'- I gave into the man and accepted a job in mental health. I travelled to India and Nepal to make a short film about disabilities in India.
On a support workers wage I traded in cameras for sunsets and began blazing a trail on a solo journey to South America, testing myself by persevering through the 4 day inca trail trek and losing myself in brazils Favela's. Most recently I spent five months around south East Asia insta vlogging my way.
"The saddest thing in life is wasted talent'. I believe I am yet to reach my potential and what I desire most is the opportunity and guidance to create engaging content whose focus is to tell a story, and ultimately all we ever have are the stories we tell.

Posterity
