About
I’m a London-based aspiring development assistant and office runner with experience across development and casting on a range of HETV projects at BAFTA-winning companies including Amy Hubbard Casting and Island Pictures.
I’m graduating from UCL with a degree in History with English in June 2026 and I’m pursuing a career in television development, seeking entry-level roles and internships.
I also produce short films that have screened at venues such as Regent Street Cinema, giving me hands-on experience across the production process, from development through to premieres and festivals.
