and Romania

I am a filmmaker and aspiring assistant editor with a working-class background, 10+ years of secondary teaching and 3+ years of hospitality experience, which means I am an effective communicator, organised, used to long shifts and to facing people from various paths of life. I am also a team player, adaptable, a problem-solver, creative and overall approachable and fun to work with.

During my HND TV (Nescol, Aberdeen) and BA Filmmaking (UWS, Ayr), I worked on various student projects, including my own, as a writer, director, composer, editor. I also made a few music videos for local bands. My practice is centred on character-driven storytelling, with an interest in contemporary social themes and an element of absurd and deadpan humour.

My film Work in Progress won Best Experimental Film (smartphone) at the Abcdetc International Arts Festival (Bucharest) in July 2026.

I am actively seeking entry-level roles in film and television, especially as an assistant editor, where I can contribute meaningfully within a collaborative production environment.
