About
I am light-hearted, enthusiastic and diligent with the ability to work under high pressure and to strict time limits. I enjoy working independently or among a team and can step into other roles to meet the requirements. Alongside my recent work in the industry in the production office and on location, I also have experience of working in theatre stage management, hospitality and event production, and in my spare time I am a mentor on the Beyond Brontes training scheme. I am primarily based in Sheffield and available to work in Leeds and Manchester.
