I’m a London-based development and production entrant with experience on a range of high-end television projects at BAFTA-winning companies including Amy Hubbard Casting and Island Pictures.
My interests lie in scripted television, female-led stories, and British independent cinema. Alongside my industry experience, I produce short films that have screened at venues including Regent Street Cinema, giving me practical experience across the production process from development through to premieres and festivals.
I am graduating from University College London with a degree in History with English in June 2026 and am seeking entry-level opportunities in television and film development.
