About me
I am an experienced Producer, having worked across both commercial and editorial content and all digital channels. I am a strong team player, capable of making involved decisions when it matters. I’ve worked in the photography industry for the last 10 years and have a strong aptitude for working to deadlines and dealing with unexpected problems. Being adaptable and versatile while working with different stakeholders in varying situations has been fundamental in my career so far. Colleagues would describe me as friendly but firm, down-to-earth and loyal.
