About me
I am a well driven, versatile free thinker who persistently works hard towards goals set by myself and others. I excel in high pressure and fast paced environments whilst maintaining composure and enthusiasm. Whilst having over five years of experience within Production, Location Management and Events this has made me exceptionally well rounded and insightful. These attributes combined with a positive attitude allows for a tireless and consistent work ethic. Having worked across Film, TV, Brands, Music and Journalism I am tirelessly passionate about creativity and how it can be marketed to the specific avenues. From early stages of research and development to the delivery of award winning campaigns, I enjoy the whole process of my work.
