I am a production assistant/co-ordinator/researcher bringing support, energy and creativity to projects within film/TV/media  production. I originally developed my filmmaking skills at UAL where I gained an MA with distinction in Documentary Filmmaking. My work on the MA course was praised for being both creative and sensitive and my final film is being used by the university to introduce new students to the course. I also have a BA (Hons) in Anthropology from Bristol University which has been invaluable in terms of developing an organized approach to research and referencing.

I am currently working at Viasat World, creating/adapting film promos for European countries. This involves creating foreign language versions and detailed collaboration and co-ordination with both pre and post-production departments as well as European stakeholders. Simultaneously, I have been conducting research for a documentary filmmaker and have set up/co-ordinated interviews and shoots both here and overseas.

Prior to the Viasat role, I worked on a number of projects in a freelance capacity, mainly acting as producer for a series of corporate films, both commercial and internal. I have also commissioned multiple camera teams in Dubai for a technology company, most of which I  edited and formatted for social media. 

I have also done a considerable amount of research for nearly all the projects I have been involved with, sourcing equipment, location finding, props, music and image clearance, RAMS, transport logistics, studio set up etc.

I would welcome a conversation about how I could fit into your organisation and would love to bring energy, creativity and dependability to your project



Hope to speak soon
