About me

I have worked as a senior TV, Radio, Photography and Content Producer on global campaigns for blue chip clients. In 2013 I was awarded Silver Art Buyer of the year for an Abu Dhabi Tourism campaign. This brief required managing 3 teams from 3 different countries on location between Abu Dhabi and Dubai for 5 weeks. The final delivery was 16 final ads. While on this shoot location we experienced a Dow capsizing and the photographer losing his equipment to the Arabian Gulf. While arranging replacement equipment, we managed to complete the full shoot successfully, on time and within budget. I am calm under pressure and lead purposefully and intentionally.
I have also worked as a Project Manager and Content Producer for a digital publishing platform based in London. My role included the oversight of the platform's online magazine, shoot production, talent and crew contract facilitation, budget and time management of the various related production, marketing, editorial and development teams. Alongside the PR team, I produced the zine launch event in Nigeria. In addition to this, I support the Brand Partnerships team to manage all client communication and ensure their requirements are all delivered upon.
My most developed abilities are interpersonal and communication skills, organisational and planning skills as well as mentorship and empathetic leadership. I am independent and self-motivated and have worked remotely for global brands since March 2021.

I am conscientious, hardworking and goal directed. I show initiative, use my creativity to find solutions to problems and enjoy seeing projects through to a positive conclusion.

I have a wide range of interests varying from creative production, environmental to social concerns. I have a passion for the ocean, travelling and eating my own home-grown food.
