Available to hire
I’m Shayne Reynolds, a multi-talented educator and media professional with diverse skills across Education, Media, Events, Advertising, Journalism, and Entertainment. I thrive in creative environments that value open-minded collaboration, flexibility, and growth, and I aim to contribute to an ethical institute or organisation through hands-on teaching, storytelling, and production.
From leading practical training and multi-camera live streaming to performing as a freelance musician and hosting hundreds of karaoke events, I bring a performer’s energy and a teacher’s clarity to every project. I love building vibrant communities around photography, audio production, and content creation, and I’m excited to continue growing with a team that values creativity and impact.
