About me
After graduating from Cardiff University with a Bachelors in Neuroscience in 2020, I took a change in my career path and decided to move away from the lab bench and pursue the creative industries sector. I am currently looking for either contract or full time roles as a Production Coordinator in film / TV / animation / GFX / VFX. During my most recent contract as Production Coordinator at Bait Studio, I enjoyed the challenge of stepping up to a higher responsibility in production, managing animation for a project which involved communicating between the project team and clients, and ensuring project delivery stayed on track with the schedule. Prior to this, I have 1 years' experience as a Production Assistant working directly with senior leadership teams, supporting and coordinating a multitude of projects from short films, features, podcasts, digital and tech projects at development stage. During this role, I was also the project manager for an exciting new tech project, where I was involved in all aspects of the research and development process over a 12 month period, from helping the product developer with creative design, iteration, UX/UI and testing, to communicating with consultants, developing the business plan, creating pitch decks and running demo's for potential investors. My strengths are organisation, communication and management. My passions are creativity, storytelling and critical thinking. Outside of work, I love screenwriting, watching films and anime, gaming, photography and playing Dungeons & Dragons.
