After college, my Film Studies lecturer nominated me to create a European vlog series for a local cruise agency, and my final project, The Bagman, won 'Best Short Film 21 and Under' at the Wales International Film Festival, leading to a position at Tanabi.

During an intensive year at Tanabi, creating high-impact sports promos, I also began studying Filmmaking at the University of Sussex, building a strong portfolio through both academic and freelance work.

2020
Building on the previous year, I began creating short documentaries on fighters, establishing a strong partnership with Tanabi and Munzberger Fight Promotions. When the pandemic struck, I seized the opportunity to slow down, reflect, read, meditate, and find space.

2021
I spent several months researching, scripting and editing a feature documentary on the link between our relationship with animals and some of the most pressing issues of our time. I then began working full-time for Love Hemp, focusing on their content needs, particularly their UFC and Anthony Joshua partnerships.

2022
I transitioned to freelancing, crafting powerful UFC promos and popular videos for The Combat Sports Agency. At the year's end, I delivered a speech to my former college's media department, emphasising the need to use our skills for the greater good. Inspired by my own message, I shifted into advocacy work for climate and animals.

2023
This year fostered significant growth as I applied my commercial experience to tell purposeful, compelling stories that advocate for systemic change. However, by the end, I felt drained from the intense workload and shifted my focus to developing sustainable work practices and prioritising self-care.
