More About Me

I have always been creative.

As soon as I was able to hold a brush, crayon or piece of chalk, I've been into painting and drawing. Then throughout my childhood I have sewn my own toys, and really got hooked on Felting!

During high school I concentrated on Painting, Sculpture, Design & Visual Communication along with Biology & English and carried these subjects through to year 13, achieving high marks across all subjects.

I have always loved creative writing and speeches, achieving top marks in all the speeches I made at high school. I know this skill will give me the ability to speak well and present my ideas in a clear way, which will be a valuable asset in my future. I also love the science of Biology and would like to find a way to integrate it into my career.

I grew up playing a range of sports, specifically football from about age 8 - after being told I needed to play a 'team sport'.

I then tried out rowing in Year 9 at Epsom Girls Grammar School, and loved it! I rowed for 4 years whilst at school, culminating in being Rowing Captain in my final year - and also winning a Silver medal at the Maadi Cup! I continued rowing for another year at club level, before moving to Australia to go to University mid 2026.

Another passion is travel, in particular my family's 'special holiday place' has been travelling around Kruger National Park in South Africa. I first visited when I was just 4 years old, and - as we all love animals, nature and conservation - we have been lucky enough to go back several times, often with friends or family - sharing the amazing experience of seeing animals in the wild, in their natural habitats.

I take inspiration from the environment around me, and love realism and showing the true life nature of human, animal and landscape forms.

Ultimately, I'd like to work as a Creative Director.

I also love the idea of creating landscapes and creatures for film and TV, as well as coming up with the overarching ideas for telling a story through artistic practises.
