About

I’m a sociable graduate and experienced production runner with professional hands- on experience and a can-do attitude. I have strong practical, organisation and project management skills from my experiences working as a production runner, and via my previous career and training as a project management support officer (Prince2 accredited). I love helping people and supporting teams. I'm a fluent and charismatic copywriter and have strong analytical and research skills from my acamedic background as a history graduate. In my spare time I write screenplays for fun and shoot documentaries. I’m 29, based in London; I have a clean driving license and have my own car with experience driving large vans. I’m DBS cleared (09/2020) and have undertaken Screenskills coronavirus basic awareness on production training. 

Production Running Experience

I have extensive experience working as a production runner for WMAF Pictures and Blueprint TV. In my past roles I have been at my best when left to use my initiative in exercising my organisational skills and strategic mindset to coordinate the office: booking cast and crew, preparing callsheets, arranging travel, managing calendars and meeting and greeting clients. I’m also an adept floor runner with hands on experience and knowledge of packing and cleaning kit, as well as providing close support for 1st ADs and producers on set for music promos, short films, commercials for Virgin Media and other clients. I also have a good knowledge of the Adobe suite.

Wider Skills and Competencies

As a fully accredited Prince2 project management practitioner I have acquired a raft of transferable project management skills when supporting managers – from scheduling meetings to copywriting for multimillion-pound crossrail projects – making me well placed to support your team. I have experience in front of house positions with receptionist duties and have therefore developed an excellent phone manner. Most importantly, I love meeting and taking care of people: be it coordinating large groups under pressure, as well as supporting production managers and delivering excellent customer service while being on my feet for long hours. I have a natural inclination for teamwork and helping others and would be an excellent ambassador for your team.

As a sociable person I thrive when inspired by working with people with different experiences to my own; just as I have done when volunteering in Australia or Peru building play infrastructure for children with people from all over the world. I look forward to building new relationships within your creative team. In my spare time I also shoot short documentaries and write screenplays.

Not to mention I make a cracking cup of tea...
