Summary

I’ve spent the last few years working across both stock management and creative production, where keeping things organised, accurate, and running smoothly has always been key. In office-based environments, I’ve played a key role in team support, liaised directly with clients to deliver successful projects, and ensured operations ran efficiently. I’m confident managing logistics, maintaining a well-organised space, and being the go-to person for keeping things on track — and I’m now looking to take that experience into a dedicated office-based role.
