gaffing
My passion lies in cinematography however, since having the opportunity to shoot a lot of my own projects, in the middle of 2024 i realised that i needed to work on my lighting knowledge to improve my understanding for my own visual language. I have been gaffing and besting on several projects since; below is some examples of my work:
colour grading & editing
I’m much more of a practical person, loving being on set and working with a team however, in an effort to become and all rounder who can be easily relied on to complete a job - so i’ve expanded my expertise to the post-production side of filmmaking, completed jobs i have shot and gaffed by involving myself in the editing and grading.

more about me
I’m a 22-year-old freelancer, i love being on set, working with a strong team and making more friends along the way. Every opportunity i get offered i often take, as its not only another way to expand my skills and knowledge, but i love the community there is within filmmaking and meeting like-minded creatives drives me more than anything.
Other than filmmaking i enjoy travelling, exploring nature and going on adventures - discovering natural landscapes that can be used for future projects!
I’m eternally grateful for the mentor’s i have who pushed me to becoming the professional i am today; i truely wouldn’t be working at the level i am without the incredible people I've met along the way - so one of my biggest goals is to help young, female-identifying and queer creatives find their footing in the world of cinema and filmmaking in Australia.
