Hi there!My name is Lucy and I am a creative freelancer based in Chiswick, West London.I trained at RADA, The National Youth Theatre and The National Youth Film Academy. I also received a 2:1 degree in English Literature from the University of Sussex. This enabled me to fuse my love of the creative industry and my love of writing.I have experience working within the operations department for the BBC, ITV and The Royal Albert Hall. My role predominantly focussed on audience experience, impeccable organisation and working alongside the operations manager to ensure the day ran smoothly. Collectively, across all of these companies, my role relied heavily on great timekeeping and adhering to tight deadlines. Particularly at the BBC and ITV, the ball is constantly rolling and you have to keep up with it.I have worked for BBC Audience and I have also assisted on large corporate events for BBC Radio 4 and CBBC. My role as a task runner was to ensure everything ran to time, from the moment the audience walked through the door to when they took their seats. Communication is absolutely key within the BBC and ITV. roles. As a task runner, I was constantly in conversation between the audience and my operations manager. As a result, any problems could be quickly resolved without any negative results.I can easily adapt my skills to any environment. As a Casting Assistant, I have the ability to handle high volumes of emails and organise auditions with care and precision. I can think independently on my feet and I can work well within a team.I have excellent computer skills and I can competently use Microsoft Office. I can edit showreels and I have a great understanding of how Spotlight works. Should any virtual meetings be required, I also have a home studio. I have a willingness to learn and a passion for the industry.In my free time, I’m unconsciously feeding my brain with industry knowledge. I have a natural curiosity to find out which casting director cast the latest show on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. I go to the theatre all the time (when they were open!). However, when I do fully switch off, I often read a book on the sofa with my dog curled up on my feet. My girlfriend is usually squashed in at the other side! I also love coffee. Who doesn’t!Thank you for taking the time to read about me.Lucy Skinner Preferred pronouns: They/Them Read Less
