I am a filmmaker, director, editor and PhD researcher based in the UK. I am a Berlinale Talents alumna, and my work has been screened internationally at festivals including Edinburgh, Aspen Shortsfest, Curta Kinoforum, Tiradentes and the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival. My latest short film, Headland (2024), received the Best Mini-Doc Award at the 2025 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.
Before moving into independent filmmaking, I worked for over ten years as an audiovisual editor at TV Globo and on projects for clients including Discovery Channel and the International Red Cross. This experience gave me a strong foundation in storytelling and post-production, and continues to shape my approach to filmmaking today. I hold an MA in Film Editing from the Kino Eyes Erasmus Film Masters and I am currently completing a PhD in Film Directing (Documentary) at Edinburgh College of Art, where I also teach and contribute as a guest lecturer in Film & Screen Cultures.
My practice brings together filmmaking and research, with a particular interest in documentary, migration and new ways of seeing and representing lived experience. My recent article, A Camera in the Water: Reframing the Migrant Image in Documentary Film, was published in Screen Journal.
