About me

With over 25 years of experience in media, I am a seasoned and versatile production lead who can deliver high-quality content for various platforms and audiences. I have worked in digital, print, TV, film, VFX, motion graphics, and social media, providing content for blue-chip companies and big-brand clients, such as Visa, Deloitte, and Unmind. My core competencies include content production and management, budgeting and forecasting, team leadership and mentoring, and stakeholder and talent relations.

In my most recent role as a production lead at Unmind, an innovative mental health platform, I managed content production from end to end, including pre-production, scheduling, facilities, equipment, personnel, and talent. I partnered with the creative and operational teams to manage the workflow and resourcing of all content projects, and I took ownership of the in-house production studio, Unmind Studios. I was the senior liaison for all shoots, and I ensured that all content projects were delivered on time and within budget, meeting the key performance indicators and business-to-business objectives. I also anticipated and resolved any production challenges using appropriate resources and solutions and maintained open communication and clarity around project expectations and deliverables.

I am passionate about creating engaging and impactful content that supports the mission and vision of the organisations I work with. I am always curious and eager to learn new practices and technologies that can enhance the quality and efficiency of content production and management. I am also committed to developing and mentoring teams that work productively, proactively, and positively, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence. I am looking for an opportunity to leverage my skills and experience in a dynamic and creative environment that values diversity, inclusion, and well-being.
