About me
Freelance production coordinator /programme manager working remotely from London. Developing in pre and post-production and creative. I'm currently working on a new podcast in a producer and co-presenter capacity and looking to sink my teeth into some junior producer roles. Let's talk about your upcoming project and see if we might be a good fit.
Projects

    Break The Room UKCreating a writing programme with LA screenwriter and CEO of Break The Room Media, Sameer Gardezi aimed at developing UK POC writers who want to break into television and film but don't necessarily have the opportunity and access. We are currently in development phase and I look forward to seeing how the project progresses over the coming year.
