1st class Media Production & Performance Degree:
At the University of Salford, I pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Media Production, during which I consistently took the lead in group projects, often wearing the hats of director, writer, and editor. My passion for innovation shone through in my dissertation—a groundbreaking live production where I integrated interactive visuals, projecting them onto myself as the central performer.
