Summary
As someone passionate about sports media and content creation, I possess a natural flair for filming, editing, and design. My focus is on storytelling in the sports industry, and I am driven by a desire for excellence.
Over the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience in the horse racing industry. My journey began as an amateur jockey and has since led me to become a production executive at an award-winning production house. Throughout my career I have been able to hone my live broadcasting skills at Sky Sports and work for notable employers such as Mr Christian Horner MBE and former Spice Girl Mrs Geri Halliwell.
My imaginative and creative approach to content creation has given me an eye for detail in filming, editing, and branding. I am always exploring innovative ways to engage audiences and am constantly developing new ideas.
I am a highly motivated self-starter who thrives in a team environment. My passion, enthusiasm, and determination to succeed make me eager to learn and grow, with a strong desire to progress my career within the media industry.
