About

I am a graduate from the Creative Skillset-accredited BSc in Film and Television Production course at the University of York. I am currently working in the industry as a 3rd AD and Floor Runner.

I have experience working in a Production Management team for factual television and also being the core office production team for a low budget feature length film. 

I really enjoy the fast paced environment on set; applying my logistical and organisational skills from a production office to a set is a strong asset me when coupled alongside my highly driven and hardworking personality. I am calm under pressure, friendly, conscientious, good at time keeping and a clear and easy communicator. 

My goal is to work for high-end British television dramas and films.
