My biggest loves

The London Documentary Network CIC (LDN)
I co-founded The London Documentary Network in 2016, as a CIC company, with 3 other founders. We ran it as a non-profit organisation, with community and film events at the heart of everything we do. Our biggest success was a 36-hour documentary-making competition, 'Doc in a Day', which I also participated in 5 times.
Vidicrew Ltd
After the success of Doc in a Day, my LDN co-founder, Paul Hulligan and I decided to launch a for-profit startup, so after entering and winning the E-Factor startup ideas competition, we both left our jobs in 2017 to launch Vidicrew; a web and app platform, enabling people to crowdsource mobile phone content, which our editors can turn into fun and personal films.
We built a team, raised grants and SEIS/EIS investment and participated on various entrepreneur accelerator programmes.
I moved away from Vidicrew to pursue something more purposeful, but I remain on the board, whilst Paul continues to run the company.
Areas of my focus at my time with Vidicrew:
Operations, Raising finance, Digital Marketing, Market research, Recruiting and managing a team, Maintaining a strong co-founder relationship, Developing an app and web platform, Customer relations.

I launched Founder Therapy during the COVID pandemic, as an initiative to help founders and entrepreneurs with their mental wellbeing.
I facilitated group and one-to-one sessions and developed a proposal deck for entrepreneur communities and programmes.
Dream Factory in Shoreditch was my first paying client, here I am talking with Graham Hussey, founder of Dream Factory, about my intentions for his community.
I am a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered and qualified Child Counsellor. I specialise in using the arts as a therapeutic medium for children and young people and I am able to do this online using innovative technology.
I studied at The Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE) where I completed Advanced Diplomas in Therapeutic Arts and Child Counselling. The institute was founded by Dr Margot Sunderland, an inspiration of mine.
I take pride in my confident, patient, non-judgemental and accepting approach. Through my education, supervision and experience, I have developed a solid base to support young people through difficult times.

I have been creating video content for various clients and personal projects for nearly 20 years now. I specialise as a video editor and producer/director for documentary format. I particularly enjoy creating character-led pieces.
