I am a final-year BA (Hons) Media and Communication student at Anglia Ruskin University, interested in how media shapes visibility, identity and cultural belonging. My work focuses on digital media, platform culture, representation, film criticism and audio-visual storytelling.
Through my degree, I have developed projects in podcasting, online journalism, documentary film and visual media, often combining academic research with accessible storytelling. I am particularly interested in how social media algorithms, online aesthetics and cultural narratives influence who is seen, heard and represented.
Beyond my studies, I have gained experience with the Cambridge Film Festival and the Watersprite Film Festival, contributing to film reviewing, festival programming, event planning and creative industry outreach. My current dissertation, Filtered Out: Racialised Visibility and the Algorithmic Aesthetic, examines how TikTok and Instagram algorithms shape the visibility of racialised creators online.

My Gothic television essay examines how familiar spaces, supernatural elements, and psychological fear create uncanny viewing experiences, using examples such as The Haunting of Hill House, The Addams Family, and Penny Dreadful.
Alongside these written projects, my photography work demonstrates my interest in visual storytelling, composition and atmosphere. Together, these pieces show my development as a media student, combining critical analysis with creative presentation.
