• About me

• Storytelling courses

Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats—story developer, script editor, producer, senior leader, and educator but everything revolves around storytelling. I spent 15 years in the UK film industry working with writers, producers and directors on shaping stories that found an audience. I’ve taught screenwriting, film development, and professional skills to countless students, trained educators to inspire future filmmakers, and supported underrepresented voices in the industry through diversity initiatives.Now I help small businesses do the same. I help you uncover the story that connects — the one that makes people care and trust you and want to do business with you.If you’re looking for an expert in storytelling—someone who understands its strategic power across film, education, and business—let’s connect.I’d love to explore how we can craft impactful and affecting narratives together.

01. Why Storytelling?

Great storytelling isn’t just for the screen—it’s a transformative tool for businesses and professionals. A well-crafted narrative can elevate a brand, engage an audience, and drive meaningful connections.Stories cut through the noise. They connect, persuade, and inspire—far more than facts alone ever could. Whether you're pitching a product, leading a team, or building your brand, a great story turns attention into action. If you want people to remember you, start with story.
