I'm interested in the stories hiding inside culture.
Storytelling gives life meaning. As a final-year English Literature and Drama student at the University of Manchester, I have explored many forms of writing, media and film, each shaping the way I think about identity, culture and human experience. I have always been drawn to stories that give voice to ideas and emotions that can be difficult to express.
For me, storytelling is more than entertainment. It is a way of understanding people, questioning how we see ourselves and creating meaning from experience. With a strong interest in music, film, literature and contemporary culture, I want to create work that connects emotion, meaning and audience.
My work moves between analytical thinking and creative expression. I enjoy researching culture, interrogating sources and exploring the stories, characters and moments that connect with people, while also creating work of my own through screenplays, fiction, poetry and podcasting. I am particularly interested in the development and drafting process behind creative work, not just the finished product.
