I was born in Northern Ireland, grew up in Belgium, and pursued my higher education in the

Netherlands. There, I completed a Liberal Arts and Sciences degree at Utrecht University with a major in Film and Media. This interdisciplinary program allowed me to combine my interest for film with other subjects such as world history and art history. My specialization in Film and Media focuses on areas such as documentary filmmaking and journalism. Alongside my academic pursuits, I have been cultivating practical skills in photography (analogue and digital), videography, and journalistic and creative writing.
