About

I am currently working as a production secretary on an observational documentary, however my main interest lies within fiction films or TV Drama. I enjoy working on the production officer side, e.g. production secretary, researcher, but I am also looking to gain experience practically on set or in the edit, due to my eventual goal being working as a director or editor. I know this will take time, hard work and perseverance, which is why I am willing to work in a variety of roles in both the offices and on set.

My skills and experience include working on the deliverables for both series of ‘Into The Fire’, including music cue sheets, production scripts and compliance documents. I have also been the main point of contact for sourcing all archive footage to be used across the show. Furthermore, I have also helped with transcribing interviews, research tasks and fact-checking scripts for delivery.

I also am easy to get on with, conscientious, a quick learner and extremely determined and hard-working. I have experience of editing, using Adobe Premiere and Final Cut, as well as some basic usage of Avid. I have directed, edited and filmed various short films, with three of them having been selected for local festivals and screenings in the past year.
