About

I work at the Belfast Telegraph and Sunday Life, where I create visual content and drive impactful storytelling through photography, videography, and editing, while also managing the picture/video desk. From concept to execution, I handle all things visual. I also work with a diverse range of clients - including businesses, charities, and individuals - to create content that boosts conversion rates, generates leads, and gets attention. As a visual storyteller, I strive to craft work that resonates deeply, whether in long or short form, leaving a lasting impression. My journey into journalism and film started in my teenage years with a camera and a passion for sharing stories. I’ve since created award-winning short documentaries and had the privilege of participating in film festivals, growing an online community of over 40,000 followers. For me, visuals go beyond aesthetics. Authenticity and value are at the core of my work, whether in journalism or client collaborations. I aim to create content that not only looks good but also delivers quality, creativity, and an emotional connection. My Proudest Achievement In 2021, I received the Princess Diana Legacy Award, one of the most prestigious recognitions for young people in social action and humanitarian efforts. I was honoured to meet Prince William at Kensington Palace, where I discussed my work with young people, creative projects, and community representation. Later, in 2023, I joined the judging panel to evaluate and celebrate the achievements of the next cohort of exceptional young leaders, visionaries, and role models awarded in 2024. Passions and Values I truly strive to place the creative arts at the heart of my life and serve the creative aspirations of our community to enrich the lives of everybody around me, particularly our young people. It's so important to celebrate youth, diversity, community, shared spaces, safer communities and culture.
