I am a freelance camera assistant and junior operator, specialising in multi-camera TV studios. I have experience assisting on shows including Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice, and operating for the live YouTube stream of Crufts 2020. My goal is to continue gaining experience, and improve my skills, in order to progress onto a wider variety of broadcast television shows.

I also have Outside Broadcast experience, working and shadowing on shoots for Wimbledon, MotorsportsTV and the National Lottery, and I am keen to continue to gain experience in this field.

Previously, I have worked as a broadcast technical operator for two of the UK’s leading shopping channels; QVC and Ideal World, with experience in operating ped mounted, handheld, overhead and robotic cameras in live studio broadcasts. This has resulted in over 2,000 hours of live broadcast experience.

I have recently been elected as a council member of the Guild of Television Camera Professionals for the next 2 years. I am hoping that this will help me to network with other professionals in the industry. As well as this, I hope to use my experience to help the guild shape the future of camera professionals, and to provide a more inclusive environment for new entrants.

I graduated from a skillset-accredited Film and Television degree at the University of York, where I was trained to use top of the range television studio equipment by industry professionals including BAFTA and RTS winner Patrick Titley, (Dickinson’s Real Deal, Countdown and Jungle Run).

I also have my own car and a full, clean, UK driving licence.
