About me 

I’m a video editor and journalist who is driven to tell meaningful, impactful stories.

After achieving my BA in Journalism, I produced and edited documentaries for Business Insider’s YouTube. My coverage spanned from King Charles’ coronation to the Twitter takeover. 

I then spent 2024 travelling across Southeast Asia creating social shorts for local brands with my drone and mirrorless camera.

Now, back at my editing desk in London, I’m a freelance video creative. Recent projects include YouTube videos for explorer Levison Wood, Instagram Reels for Forbes 30 under 30 climate speaker Wawa Gatheru, and an upcoming documentary on trans youth.
