Most people write these things with the thought of 'how do I make myself seem attractive to potential employers' and get caught up listing all the various skills and achievements they have, along with trying to highlight everything that makes them a great person to work with with an array of skills to choose from, but the bottom line is that it's just words on screen, and impressive as that may, or may not seem, you don't really know what a person is like until you work with them.
I believe a reputation is only as good as word of mouth; what the people you've worked for and with, say about you. But they're obviously not writing this, I am, so here's what I think of me. I like to believe I'm really good at my job, I'm extremely reliable, dedicated, and most importatly to me - versatile. I've never thought a job title excludes me from helping out with smaller tasks that 'aren't my job', because if it helps the production run more smoothly, then why not? I'm a big team player and am always willing to help out wherever help is needed, job big or small. I'm confident working with cast and talent, which is something I'll admit didn't come naturally to me at first, but is something that I've really grown into since being a Senior Producer. I'm a quick learner, I love to problem solve, and pride myself in trying to keep a really positive approach to my work.
Now for just who I am as a person; I was born and raised in South Africa to a British mom, and an Italian dad, which I think that gave me a really colourful outlook on life, and exposed me to a lot of different cultures shaping the various ways I see the world, and the people in it, which I apply to my everyday work life in my role as producer.
From my CV, it's clear to see that I've had amazing opprotunities to be able to work on varoious projects in various roles, which hopefully proves to anyone having a look see, that I am good at what I do. I love working in this crazy whirlwind of an industry that TV is, and that passion and joy is reflected in my work - I just hope you take a chance on me so you can see it too.
