About me
Aspiring to a successful career in the TV industry. With a strong passion for sport media production and creative content communication. I have 3 years of excellent hands-on experience working within TV production. Alongside my role as a runner, I'm currently participating in an online course at the London College of fashion in Digital Fashion Marketing. With a strong interest in fashion and creative content, I wanted to improve, expand and educate myself in this area outside of sport in my spare time. I keep myself updated daily through a variety of online platforms and make sure I am up to date with the wider Fashion Landscape. Primarily I am a huge sports lover. I participate in weekly running events, often volunteering as a marshal when unable to participate. I have been a key member of my School team, College team and multiple clubs including County level football. I’ve also been an administrator and a volunteer on Saturday mornings for my local club Walton and Hersham where I coached 7-9 year olds to help develop their football skills showing my love and passion for the game. Being part of a number of teams has allowed me to develop and maintain my communication and leadership skills.

    Being a freelance runner has allowed me to work with some of London’s top postproduction houses. It has enabled me to explore different areas of the industry, meaning I have received a wide range of experience and have got to grips with this vital area of TV. Working for sport, advertising and film companies has developed my skill set and has taught me the logistics of logging, and the general methods behind postproduction.

    Working on the Amazon prime series, The Devils Hour, gave me a deeper understanding of TV production. I assisted the Sparks, the AD team and was given the responsibility to look after the cast - ensuring they get to and from set with no complications. This role opened my eyes up to immense work that happens behind the camera, and really confirmed my passion for the industry.
