About
Entry-level graduate of a screenwriting MA at Falmouth University, gained with distinction.
My love for drama and storytelling has led to a significant career change from a senior role in the NHS. I am now an award-winning writer and screenwriter with experience of script writing, editing, coverage and producing pitch bibles for short films, pilots and features. Also, through my NHS work, I have many crossover skills suitable for the film and TV industry.
