Nicola is an MA student in the Film and Media department at Queen’s University, with a focus on archival footage and its role in film. After completing a BA in Film and Media from Queen’s, she gained extensive industry experience, working as an associate producer on various projects. These roles provided a strong foundation in production management, creative collaboration, and overseeing the complete production cycle.

Now, as a graduate student, Nicola's research explores how archival materials shape historical narratives in film and the ethical considerations involved in their use. Her work critically engages with media preservation, cultural memory, and the challenges of curating and integrating archival footage into contemporary filmmaking. Nicola's academic and professional experience positions her to contribute to the broader discussions surrounding digital preservation and the evolving role of archives in media production, with an emphasis on the ethical responsibilities filmmakers have toward historical accuracy and representation.
