Summary
With a passion for digital media and the desire to grow my knowledge of high end Post Production I am committed to developing my experience within the industry. Since graduating with a BSc. in Broadcast Technologies in 2018 I have gained broad work experience across both production and post and I am hugely excited about the prospect of moving to the next level. Now, as a Post Production Coordinator I have tried to instil a positive team ethic and help to nurture a collaborative approach within the support team. I've always been committed, hard-working, honest and have been encouraged from a young age to be ambitious and to be the best I can be. I thrive when working within a 'high-end' post-production environment and it's hugely exciting being part of such a dynamic and inspirational industry.
