Charismatic and tenacious creative with 10+ years of experience as a Videographer/Photographer, Editor, Assistant Producer, Working Musician, Teacher and YouTube Creator. Working in varied professional environments has taught me to be adaptable and given me the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Proactive when working alone and inspired when leading a team. I am well-organised and have an eye for detail even when working under pressure or on quick turnaround deadlines. I am looking for a new role to complement my years of experience and the opportunity to collaborate.
