She studied Digital Media Arts and her interests and motivations are predominantly based around the fascination of experiencing Film and the cinema space itself. What it is to be a viewer or performer, exploring the audiences involvement with the narrative.

Current projects include The Cleaner, an English Foreign Horror - to be shot in Spain and UK as co-production.
He is also a founding member of the Blind Collective, making short films collaboratively, without seeing any other component (footage, music, actors) until the whole has been edited.
He's also finishing his first novel.
