About me
Connecting with an audience is key, whatever medium you are using, whether it is digital, video or face-to-face. I am a firm believer that moulding creative content to suit your clientele and spark their interest will work every time. My role is unique, being 33% Producer / Director, 33% Content Manager and 33% Leader with a flair for influencing the creative process. An accomplished leader, I am able to bring individuals together into cohesive units while maintaining quality of output and ways in which to enhance the entertainment proposition. Away from work, I hone my creative talents through photography and videography. Adaptable to ever-changing situations, I can turn my hand to pretty much anything that is thrown at me
