My bio
Quantitatively trained Strategically minded Creatively talented
​
I've always been an all-rounder and a very keen learner. I love to fill my days with a huge variety of activities and my evenings with a plethora of hobbies and interests. Alongside my career in content production I have managed to develop my skills as a private tutor, model designer and improvisational comedian. It is a contrasting mix of things but I find that in a unique way these all compliment each other quite well and give me the balance I seek to lead a healthy and varied life.
​
​
Pursuing my love of creative design and hoping to compliment that with my mathematical aptitude I began my career studying Engineering at Cambridge University. Although I found the course very interesting and became a real whiz at maths and physics, I fast realised that the industrial nature of the Engineering sector wouldn't align with my colourful creative ambitions.​
​
Topping my class in Operations Management and winning the 3rd year Major Project Prize for best in show I decided to take the skills I had learnt in process optimisation and apply them to creative settings. While at Uni I performed for a short period with the Cambridge Footlights and after that joined an improvised comedy troupe. This allowed me to pursue my creative ambitions alongside my degree studies.
​
Towards the end of my degree I was balancing exams alongside competing on Channel 4's LEGO MASTERS competition and acting as Production Manager for Clare College's May Ball. I also joined the University show choir and learnt Ballroom Dancing with the Uni's Dancesport team. My dance partner and I won the title of best beginners couple in the UK that year which remains one of my greatest achievements to date.
​
After graduating I began working at Heraeus - a large German Conglomerate - as a process improvement specialist. I spent time traveling to their HQ in Germany and at their factory site in Cambridge. I also was sent with the Marketing team to talk about process improvement to customers at a trade fair in San Francisco. I enjoyed the variety of work involved and managed to deploy my optimisation skills to save the company over £350k a year in one factory alone.
Seeking to get back into media production and education I left Heraeus to start working for Up Learn - an EdTech start-up in London. At Up Learn I started out as an animator but was quickly moved across to the Operations Department to better make use of my skills in process optimisation. I have rocketed up the hierarchy since then and am now the most senior Operations leader at the company. I manage a large team of internal and external resources to help deliver on operational improvement projects. I have also been tasked with project managing the delivery of content for our corporate client: Merck for whom I own the creation of content that is being used in over 40 countries.
