Storyteller at heart, journalist by trade. I got my first video camera at the age of 10, sparking my interest in moving images and editing. Safe to say that I've come a long way from shooting music videos with my friends in the backyard. Along the way, my learning curve led me to a degree in journalism, where I also discovered the power of telling stories with written words, allowing me to put the camera down for a bit. I have 6 years of experience in videography, writing, social media, and comms.
