I’ve been working in the media industry for over 20 years starting off as a trainee systems engineer straight from college. I’ve built CMRs, edit suites, set up production shoots, and tested equipment, and I’ve provided troubleshooting support, which gives me a solid understanding of the end-to-end video production and post-production process. I have a strong interest in health and fitness, which led me to train as a Personal Trainer, Nutritionist and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I currently work as a freelancer, taking on editing, localization, subtitling and QC projects.
