Summary

Dedicated, trustworthy and highly disciplined professional with over 10 years’ experience in the security industry, consistently delivering excellent customer service, situational awareness and attention to detail. While proud of the career I’ve built, I am now seeking a new path as I no longer feel fulfilled in my current role and want to pursue work that aligns with my interests, creativity and long-term goals. Outside of work, I am passionate about photography and videography, regularly capturing and editing content using equipment including the Insta360 One X5, DJI Osmo Pocket 3, gimbals, Nikon P1100 and DJI drone. I particularly enjoy creating YouTube videos; however, I unfortunately find myself with less and less time to do so due to my current job. Motivated to turn this passion into a professional career, I am eager to learn, receive training and grow within a creative team. I bring reliability, professionalism, strong communication skills and a genuine enthusiasm for becoming a Photographer/Videographer.
