I have over three years experience in Unscripted TV, within competition shows, entertainment, comedy panel shows, cookery shows and live OB sport. Originally from the North East, I have also lived in Scotland, and absolutely love meeting people from all over the UK and beyond! I am available immediately and seeking my next researcher / runner / logger role.

My most recent credit was as Junior Researcher for MasterChef S21, where I gained experience in welfare, casting and running auditions, writing biogs, logging, and conducting background checks. Tasked with looking after multiple contestants in a high-pressure environment, both in the studio and on location, I loved supporting contributors through the process. During this role I also researched locations and helped organise small shoots, and prepared paperwork for the team, talent and for the edit. I have further previous experience travelling and living with contributors, chaperoning during tasks and supporting teams on fast-moving productions such as Britain's Got Talent and The Apprentice.

I am also very experienced in working with talent, from two years experience previously working as a full-time Sound Engineer recording high-profile talent, to now working consistently as a talent runner, with some notable credits such as Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, The Piano, A League of Their Own and Celebrity MasterChef. On Special Forces, I greeted all the talent from the US at the airport, being the first point of contact, coordinated cars and VIP greeters, and lived with three high-profile talent singly before the process began. And on The Piano, A League of Their Own and The Apprentice S18, I looked after multiple talent on location and coordinated talent movements. I am passionate about working with talent and creating a professional rapport.

Thank you for your consideration!
