I am a researcher with a passion for storytelling and a keen editorial eye for content and narrative as well as a solid technical knowhow. I am looking to broaden and consolidate my experience in order to grow further within the industry. What I love doing is working with contributors - on Soldier I worked through challenging access with the British army to help portray the highs and lows of fresh-faced recruits on their incredible transformation from civilian to soldier. I think my warm personality and smiley disposition helps put contributors at ease and with my editorial instinct, I love to get to know contributors with their narrative arcs in my mind. Both Soldier and Angel Lynne have proven that despite challenging access and sensitive subject areas, I can bring contributors onside to help ease this issue to help to tell the story and create engaging watchable content. I also have experience working with talent from my time on Channel 4's 'Banged up' helping to assist both on the floor and also while shooting backstories in their homes. Recently, I have gained a stronger editorial knowhow through my time as an edit researcher on the hit Netflix show Love Is Blind. It has helped me to develop my eye for story and understand narrative's, as well as how rushes are stitched together to create interesting and engaging storylines. I made myself invaluable by becoming one with the rushes knowing them better than anyone. This made me an essential part of the team as I was the go to for pulling vital pieces of sync and to help pull the series together, while also providing my own editorial ideas that were often taken on board. As a result of this role I have also developed AVID skills, by using it day in day out, as I hunt through the rushes and pull clips for specific scenes. I have solid technical knowledge having worked with cameras, both as a camera assistant and also shooting on occasions myself. I can boom and have also filled in as an AP writing story notes and pursuing new and engaging stories with contributors. I am adaptable and very happy to help the production by filling in whatever role is required of me, no matter how big or small and I have a lot of experience working away on location.
