About
Born and raised in Grimsby, I arrived in Leeds in July 2021 in pursuit of change. Having dedicated over five years to the hospitality sector, I devoted my skillset to gain experience within the administrative environment. A Master’s degree and valuable life experience later, I return matured from my excursion to my lifelong dream: a thriving and prosperous career in the constantly evolving creative industry.
With a decade of academic experience in film and television settings, I envision my future with the desire to make a difference.
