BBC Multi-Skilled Technical Operator, currently sound mixing World Service output across multiple language services.
--
I have worked in TV for over 6 years, helping to bring the news to different parts of the country with BBC England, and now working across World Service - across multiple disciplines including sound mixing, motion graphics and video editing.
Outside of work, you'll often find me out with my camera, at the theatre or thinking about what I can do next creatively.
