I am an early-to-mid-career academic practitioner and film and television specialist working within UK higher education, with a developing research profile focused on practice-based pedagogy, sustainable production, and inclusive technical education in screen media. I am currently employed as a Film & Television Studios Specialist Technician at the University of the Arts London (UAL), where I facilitate undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, studio-based learning, and curriculum delivery across film and television production courses.
My work sits at the intersection of creative practice, applied research, and higher-education pedagogy.
Academic and Research Context
Within my role at UAL, I contribute directly to teaching and learning by designing and delivering studio inductions, technical workshops, and production support across multi-camera television studios, cinematography, lighting, and live production environments. I work closely with other academic staff to translate learning outcomes into practical, industry-relevant studio experiences, supporting students across diverse educational, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Alongside this, I am developing a practice-based research focus examining how sustainable production materials and workflows—such as recyclable set-building systems and environmentally responsible studio practices—impact student learning outcomes, technical competence, and production management skills in film and television education. This research addresses a growing gap in higher-education screen studies, where sustainability is often discussed theoretically but less frequently embedded into hands-on technical pedagogy.
My work aligns with current UK priorities around environmental sustainability, inclusive education, and applied research, and reflects the increasing recognition of practice-as-research within creative disciplines
