About me

I am a previous student of Coventry University, with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Media Production. I currently freelance as a media practitioner; with previous experience in journalism writing and interviewing, directing and producing commercial film shoots and photography shoots.

Whilst in Secondary School I worked for the student newsletter for 5 years, writing amateur articles of news around the school and various trips undertaken by the student year groups. Progressing to University, I joined the student media 'Source Media' for the University and primarily worked as the production manager for the sub-platform 'Source TV', who filmed the activities of students around campus. From midway through my 1st Year I took over as Station Manager for Source TV, coordinating shoots across a campus of 24,000 students and directing 60+ students in small groups to provide media publicity for activities undertaken. I also assisted with the student radio station during my time there over the 3 years, mainly as an online social media publicist to promote when shows were playing and elevate the growth of the platform. I similarly worked with Source News, the student newspaper, and helped as an occasional article writer and editor for the newspaper. In 2013 I took over as Source Media Manager, where my job was to directly coordinate and organize 200 student media members and their activities on campus, being directly responsible for their content production and the student media of Coventry University.

Whilst at University I've undertaken a variety of enjoyable experiences, from working as press at film festivals to travelling abroad and shooting my own film projects. I was part of 6 societies including the Coventry East Asian Film Society (CUEAFS), Snow Sports Society, President (and founder, with 2 members on the Under 25 England Olympic squad) of the Archery Team and President of the Creative Writing Society. I was a member of the Societies Committee overseeing the organization and smooth coordination of 2000+ society members on campus; helping approve funding bids, new society applications, discuss upcoming events and help run campus promotions. I was also a member of the Student Council, working alongside the Executive, Sabbatical and Trustee teams to approve motions that would affect the student body, helping improve the university experience. I won a 'Media Student of the year' award from my 6th form in 2011, I also won a CUSU award in 2013 for 'Outstanding Contribution to Source Media' and 2014 for 'Outstanding Contribution to CUSU', alongside a 'Source TV Station Manager' award in 2014 for my contributions to Coventry University Media. My self funded/produced/directed film The Brother Code won an Art and Design award for 'Best Moving Image' 2014 and was premiered at the Charlie Darwin Film Festival in London
