About

Currently working as a support media technician at LCF, I have experience in both still and moving image production. I have experience in delivering technical demonstrations and workshops on the correct and safe use of specialist equipment, as well as creating technical learning resources. I approach new challenges with great enthusiasm and dedication, always willing to go the extra mile to succeed in my role. I constantly keep up to date with

technical developments in the field and enjoy experimenting and finding creative

solutions. I am a creative team player open to new career developments and opportunities

with a keen interest in advancing my career in Film and HETV camera departments.
