I am an ambitious and hardworking senior production manager with an eagle eye for detail. I have over 20 years of experience in the TV, film, and events industry across a multitude of platforms and am confident in the end-to-end production process.
My experience covers documentary and studio formats, drama, feature film, animation, graphic design, live stream, OB studios, festivals, and large-scale events.
I also run a small business specialising in post-production script paperwork which has given me exceptional skills in budget & team management. I wear many hats and love the juggle!
