As a kid I was glued to the television. Dad watching classic black and white movies, mum a good tv soap. I loved a ‘who done it’ and was particularly fond of Poirot but I never dreamt I’d some day be working in the industry.

​

I studied Art & Design at College and then a BA in Textiles for my Degree so have always enjoyed being creative. After moving to London I realised I wanted to do something media related. That’s when I got into video production. 

​

I had to start again and with no education in films studies it meant learning on the job. I started out in a small video production company. It was office based to start, making call sheets and helping to organise shoot logistics.

​

During that time I met an amazing producer called Sheila Stirrat. She took me under her wing and became a truly amazing mentor. She got me running on shoots, making teas and coffee and watching and learning as I went.

​

It was when she founded her own production company and asked me to join her that my career really started to take off. 

​

It was a humble beginning; working out of her home office but we soon moved to a small studio in Putney. It was there that the magic happened, when I helped to set up what was to become my first edit suite. 

​

As soon as we started cutting in-house I was hooked. I realised that editing had this strange connection to textiles. Taking pieces of media and stitching them together, it all felt so strangely familiar but also so very different. That’s when I knew I wanted to become an editor.

​

I realised becoming an editor would take time, and a lot of patience. I watched and learned from several amazing editors kind enough to share knowledge and guidance along the way. 

​

Cut to some ten years later, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing people on many brilliant projects and I feel blessed to be where I am now. The magic never stops.
