About me
I am currently a Production Secretary on Have I Got News For You which involves booking transport, organising catering, and managing runners on studio days. I also assist the writers rooms by getting lunches and providing drinks. Previously I was a runner at Hat Trick Productions which involves office runner work such as proofing scripts, organising read throughs, and assisting with producing pitch presentations. I have also been an on-set runner for Room 101 radio show recordings, BBC Proms, and a previous series of Have I Got News For You. My goal is eventually becoming a Production Manager as it would not only be a job which would really interest me, but also utilise my skills and experience. I love managing a variety of responsibilities and helping the production run smoothly. I am an enthusiastic member of a team and am excited to tackle any task that comes my way. I am a confident individual with great communication skills and experienced at managing a heavy workload with demanding deadlines. I have extensive Microsoft Office and Google Suite experience, including advanced Excel skills. I am also skilled at Canva. I am a confident driver, with a clean licence and have been driving for over 10 years.
