I am a hard-working, effiicent and personable runner with aspirations of moving up into editorial roles in the near future. I have gained widespread experience as a production runner, VT runner, talent runner and location runner, and hope to further build on my already strong skillset in the near future.

I have just finished working as production runner on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. This involved working closely with the editorial team and production team to ensure the smooth running of the show.

Last year, I worked as the full-time runner for ITV Daytime's 'Loose Women'. This enabled me to gain a wide skillset and experience in the studio TV setting. This role involved a mixture of working with on-screen talent and completing administrative work. I have also learnt key skills of the production sercretary role for on-call duties. Alongside this, I took an eager interest in the role of the researchers, often pitching ideas for topics and items for the shows to researchers and assistant producers.

Last summer, I worked on one of the UK's most loved entertainment formats, The Great British Bake Off, as Talent Runner.

I juggled my full-time job on Loose Women with a position as Talent Runner on 'Dancing on Ice'. Every Sunday, I have dedicated my time to ensuring that presenters and judges are well looked after. I have helped to ensure that each live episode has run smoothly and to time. Working with Lifted Entertainment again was a delight. My first work with Lifted was in November and December 2023. when I was the production runner for The Royal Variety Performance. This was an absolute honour to work alongside some of the country's biggest names.

From August to October 2023, I completed my first Runner job as Location Runner on Series 2 of The Dog Academy, which will be aired on Channel 4. This was a fantastic opportunity to get heavily involved in the TV production, alongside allowing me to understand the intricacies of how the TV world works. Indeed, I helped with prop set-up, arranging the collection of equipment and working alongside contributors. 

Since graduating, I also embarked on a 1-year placement working as a Graduate Assistant at Taunton School International. In this role, I have built upon my already established administrative skill-set, alongside working closely with the marketing department in press releases and writing blog articles. This involved undertaking a lot of ad-hoc tasks, akin to those in a Runner role.

In June 2022, I graduated from Durham University with a high 2.1 degree in English Literature and History. Through my University career, I studied relevant modules ranging from 'History and its Audiences' and 'A Society of Equals: Modern Literature'. Throughout my time at University I strived to build my transferable skills. For example, I was the Project Leader for Durham's biggest volunteering project, 1-1 Tutoring. This involved exceptional organizational, marketing and personable skills. Read Less
