Profile
Recently graduated from the University of the West of Scotland, BA (Hons) in Broadcast

award for research project in the university showcase.
Worked the summer of 2016 in America with dyslexic children at a summer camp, teaching them
film and documentary. Produced promotional videos for companies and summer camp, now mainly
looking to increase experience and work freelance as well as a runner/assistant in research/camera
