Studying courses in Media studies and Film and Television for three years previously greatly expanded my passion and continued to motivate me to be innovative with my time and It has kept me motivated to keep learning and pushing the boundaries each time.
In 2022 I worked on Outlander as a video trainee and I completed The Camera course with the National Film and Television School Scotland with cinematographer Simon Vickery.
During lockdown I earned a certificate of achievement in ‘Film Distribution’ as part of a future learn course and a statement of participation in the open learn course ‘The Business of Film’. Both were very beneficial to me and reaffirmed my desire to expand my skills.
