My
education

Student at Yorkville University
On the recommendation of Toronto Film School, I'm continuing my studies in its sister program at Yorkville University. I'm working toward my bachelor's degree in creative arts and building on everything film school taught me.
2024 - 2026
Toronto Film School
I completed the program online, graduating with a diploma with distinction, and I was honoured to be named class valedictorian. Two years of training in film, editing and directing gave me a strong foundation in every stage of production, from planning a shoot to delivering the final cut.

Completed Final Cut Pro course
This course gave me a thorough grounding in professional video editing and the confidence to work in Final Cut Pro, which is now my go-to editing tool. It's where my passion for editing really took off.
2019 - 2023
Bow Valley High School
I graduated in June 2023 having passed every class, and I left high school ready to pursue my passion for film and creative media.
2015 - 2018
CCA middle school, Cochrane Alberta
After moving to Canada from England, I joined CCA middle school in grade 5. It was a big change, and it taught me to adapt quickly, make new friends and welcome new experiences. I still rely on those skills with every new client and crew.
