About
Hello! I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and recently moved to the UK. Pro-kindness, I adore how stories inspire understanding and connection. We live in a diverse world and it matters to me that all work I'm a part of makes participants feel welcomed and engaged through prioritising Inclusive Design and Accessibility.
I have 7+ years experience in projects that forward development in Children's Edutainment, Culture, Community and Media. I have worked as a Production Coordinator for radio dramas, a Production Assistant for documentaries and outside of Media, as a Programme Coordinator for a Children's Literary Festival.
I have a great fondness for Stop Motion Animation and am keen to get involved in Children's TV and Animation.
