WHAT I DO

I am a teacher, writer and photographer from London. In 2020, I joined the founding team of Copperfield International School where I taught English and History and worked across all areas of the school, deputising occasionally as Headteacher at the age of 25. I exited Copperfield in September 2024 following an acquisition by Dukes Education.

 

I am a qualified teacher and published author. I have written a bestselling book about my inspirational soccer coach, and am developing several projects for the screen and stage.

 

I care most about educating young people and extraordinary storytelling. My next step is attending Harvard to study education and entrepreneurship. One day, I will launch my own education venture.

I'd love to talk. You can reach me with the buttons below.

EDUCATION

SHOTS

I take pictures because it helps me to feel alive, engaged with the world, and make sure today isn't forgotten.

WORDS

A dear friend and I have written a biography of our inspirational football coach, Mickey Lewis, who I met at university. When Mickey died in 2021, aged 56, my friend Alex and I tried to make sense of the beautiful life he lived and the legacy he left. MAD DOG: THE MICKEY LEWIS STORY is the outcome of that, and released in all major book retailers in Feb 2025.

 

It has achieved #1 bestselling status on Amazon, has 100% 5-star reviews, and has raised several thousands of pounds for Seesaw, a charity helping young people to deal with grief.

SCENES

I am developing several projects for the screen. A hard-hitting love story about two young people who have both been sexually assaulted, a television series about an infamous American journalist who winds up in trouble in the dark heart of Italy, and two more features set in two of my favourite places, northern Italy and New York.
