About me

Throughout my career I have worked on innovative and award winning media projects. My education and previous experience make me ideally suited to both project and team management.

After graduating from UCA (formerly Surrey Institute of Art & Design) with a Hons degree in Film & Video, I began my media career working in the computer games industry for Simis, part of Eidos Interactive. The creative flare and IT knowledge acquired in my early career enabled me to make the transition to broadcast television. Working as an editor at Millennium International Communications I produced content for the EuroNews channel and quickly built strong relationships with a variety of international corporate clients. Currently I work as a freelance media consultant and production manager and have developed an excellent reputation for quality, reliability and honesty.

I am now seeking an opportunity to utilise my existing expertise and experiences whilst expanding my leadership and team building skills within a corporation or small business.
