About me

As a long-time post-production employee and self confessed film geek, I've always been draw to the bright lights of media. Having worked for almost 15 years within the industry in varying capacities I feel that I've attained a large amount of experience and knowledge which would be beneficial to employers who specialise in television broadcast. Always attempting to bring solutions to problems, reassess workflow issues and aid in the training junior members of staff, I can help to improve existing ways of working in order to speed up and facilitate the processing of material.
