What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and mentorship opportunities.

As the Executive Producer and Founder of Slingshot Films, I have dedicated my career to reshaping the narrative landscape through innovative content creation. My journey began with a vision to empower brands and foster emerging talent, leading to the establishment of the Young Cinephiles Club, where I provide mentorship and internships to underprivileged youth. My commitment to storytelling and collaboration drives my work, ensuring that every project resonates with its intended audience.

With over a decade of experience in content strategy, sales, and marketing, I have successfully led teams at Wooshii and The CherryPicks, delivering captivating content for high-profile clients such as Amazon and Thermo Fisher Scientific. My strategic approach has resulted in significant revenue growth, including a remarkable 4.5 million GBP milestone in 2022. I thrive in dynamic environments, fostering collaborative relationships and enhancing workflows to achieve outstanding results.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy. As a Court Appointed Special Advocate, I work with foster youth, ensuring they have the support and resources they need. My passion for film and education drives my non-profit initiatives, bridging the gap for young cinephiles across the globe.
