“Having the encouragement from the team at Film Barking and Dagenham and being able to get my first few chances to get on set opportunities and seeing how the industry works, pushed me to be able to continue within the Film and Media industry. I was lucky enough to be able to have the opportunity working on set as a Marshall on ‘Luther,’ ‘The Suspect’ and many more… I am currently working at 3 Mills Studios and can only see myself continuing to grow within the industry.”

“I never imagined I had the skills to thrive in this industry, but working with Film Barking and Dagenham has been a game changer for me. I've had the incredible opportunity to collaborate on projects with Netflix, Apple TV, and Warner Bros. Being on set with iconic actors like Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan, among others, has been both inspiring and unforgettable. This experience has truly expanded my horizons and confirmed my passion for the world of film."
