About Me
I am passionate about my work and have worked in many areas of TV Production and Post-Production and understand the demands and dedication that it needs ...and I thrive on it.
I enjoy working on a project from the initial concept to final delivery, which is probably why I am so drawn to Post-Production. I like seeing all the elements come together to complete the project and am a stickler for paperwork.
I am very experienced and, having also worked in Production, I can anticipate and flag potential problems and am also budget conscious, and look for ways to help the Line Producer save on costs.
I am very good at forming working relationships with people from Edit Houses to Broadcasters, Legal & Compliance and the Production Team, and am not shy at chasing people to get what we need for the show. I am never afraid to ask questions and will always keep everyone informed of progress. Appreciating and understanding others roles and workflow is key to a smooth production, and I pride myself on enabling teams to work effectively and efficiently.
I am a very calm positive person and conscientious with my workflow.

Early Career
Originally, I started in Audience Research working on a large number of popular shows from T.F.I Friday to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and got a real taste for Television Production. After seven years with Powerhouse Film & Television, I moved into producing dance music television and DVD production (producing the first dance music DVD for Super Club Brands Cream and Ministry of Sound) which took me to Europe and the USA. I stayed in the USA working with Marc Jay on and off for two years in PR, Fixing & Project Management, being the first to build the UK/European DJ scene in Las Vegas. A highly successful endeavour introducing Tiesto, Eddie Halliwell, Paul Oakenfold, Calvin Harris and a whole host of up and coming and Superstar DJ’s to the Vegas scene. Back in the UK, I immersed myself in Reality with Project Catwalk, x3 series of Britain’s Next Top Model, The Only Way is Essex and x13 series of Made in Chelsea before moving to Amazon Studios and working in Drama. I’ve also worked on adverts, documentaries, comedy clips shows and even filmed the first broadcast World Backgammon Championships in Monte Carlo!
So, my range of experience is quite broad and crosses the fields of Pre-Production, Production and Post which all involved being on the ball, knowing what's what and getting the job done with a smile.
