What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my media production skills to create impactful content while fostering community engagement and advocacy.

I am an Information and Communications Consultant with a strong background in film and television production. Currently pursuing a BSc Honours Degree in Development Studies, I have gained extensive experience in the industry through various roles, including Director and Editor at Brysans Productions and Community Film Trust. My work has focused on creating impactful media that raises awareness and advocates for marginalized communities.

Throughout my career, I have produced and directed several television programs, including 'Today's People' and 'Action Power,' which highlights the challenges faced by the Deaf community. My passion for storytelling is complemented by my skills in graphic design, web management, and statistical data analysis using SPSS. I am committed to using my expertise to contribute to meaningful projects that promote social change.
