About me
Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to work on some exciting projects that showcase my personal and filmmaking interests. My graduation film, which I directed, delves into the complexities of dual identities. It highlights the sacrifices made for love and family while navigating the journey of self-discovery. Alongside this film, I've been working part-time as a documentary filmmaker at the Cavendish Living Lab. I created a documentary that explores the intersections among identity, culture, food, and sustainability. This project grew out of in-depth research and meaningful conversations with over 10 cultural centres and communities, which helped bring their stories to life.

Completing my studies at the University of Westminster was a significant milestone for me, especially finishing my dissertation on the role of domestic spaces in the coming-of-age genre (my favourite genre). In my dissertation, I examined how the on-screen settings, combined with cinematic techniques, shape character development and personal growth.
