I am a film and media professional with extensive experience in content creation, education, and film marketing, exhibition and distribution. As a Lecturer in Film and Media, I have designed engaging courses that inspire creativity and critical thinking. My work with the major film studios, Odeon Cinemas, and freelance producing, has sharpened my skills in video editing, marketing, and storytelling. Additionally, as Director of The Storyboard Community Cinema & Arts Hub CIC, I have led community-driven events that make film accessible to all. I'm passionate about visual storytelling, and passing on my knowledge of film and media to younger generations.
I have a strong background in teaching film and media, having worked as a Lecturer in FE and HE colleges. I have designed and delivered engaging, industry-focused courses, helping students develop skills in editing, storytelling, and media production. My experience includes curriculum development, student mentorship, and integrating digital tools to enhance learning. I am passionate about making film and media education accessible, fostering creativity, and preparing students for careers in the industry. Additionally, my work with The Storyboard Community Cinema & Arts Hub CIC has allowed me to bring practical, real-world insights into the classroom.
Throughout my extensive years of education, I have always taken an empathetic and understanding approach to my teaching. I'm an energetic and enthusiastic person, and this comes across in my teaching style. Because I have a vast amount of industry experience, I'm able to tailor my teaching to real-life examples, drawing from the varied roles I've had, and still have in the industry.
