James Regan
Summary
I have been a part of the sports media industry for the past four and a half years, working as a reporter and producer across TV, radio and online. I have proven experience hosting live broadcasts and creating original, compelling TV stories. As a producer I can build rundowns and edit promos and packages under intense pressure to meet deadlines, with Avid and UX.
My experience in a busy newsroom has equipped me with the ability to handle any situation or challenge and I am comfortable in the volatile environment that comes with the job.
Above all I am hard working, with an unwavering passion for what I do and desire to learn.
