I am a supportive and helpful team player while using my existing skills to work independently.

I am able to bring high levels of creativity and resilience to any situation that I am place in. I am a hardworking, enthusiastic and dedicated individual who has excellent critical listneing skills and a very keen eye for detail. I am extremely punctual, having never missed a deadline and have strong time management and planning skills. I am passionate about television production and the importance of it in society.

On of my strongest attributes is being flexible, meaning that I can multitask on various projects and deliver them to a high and suitable standard. I am committed to further developing my TV production career.

I have been a freelance Production Specialist at ITV Granada Reports since June 2023, having completed the necessary training. During this time, I've gained experience in many different areas of television news production such as Sound Production, Vision Mixing/Set Up, Floor Management and Autocue. I have extensive experience of equipment and software, both audio and visual.

From my audio/video restoration and transfer business, I have developed my own database thats houses ingests from obsolete formats, both audio and visual, as well as creating my own metadata system. I am proficient in many IT software and media management techniques, having used FileMaker Pro 18 Advanced for my audiovisual database and metdata entry system as well as 'Capture Schedule' and 'Avid MediaCentral' at ITV Granada. I have a good knowledge of the two main different types of Codecs: Lossy and Lossless, the formats each type applies to and how they work within a media system.

In terms of Post Production, I have experience in editing weather packages, archive material and international news promos using the current leading software, 'Avid MediaCentral', as well as my existing skills and knowledge from my business and news production. From my time at ITV Granada Reports, there have been times when I presented my technical knowledge to a non-technical audience, whether it be trainees or visitors, in a clear and concise way. I love teaching people who are eager to learn about the operations of the newsroom.

From my work as an award winning hospital radio presenter, I have many transferrable skills having had responsibility for planning, producing and broadcasting my own live two hour radio show each week since 2015. Read Less
