About

I’m a highly organised production professional with over four years of freelance experience supporting live broadcasts, studio productions, creative projects, and events. I coordinate contributors, guests, and crew on set, keep schedules and timings on track, and handle time-sensitive logistics so productions run smoothly in fast-paced environments.

Alongside my on-site production support, I also work as a camera operator/assistant in multi-camera live setups, troubleshooting issues in real time and staying in close communication with directors and vision teams to deliver the coverage clients need. I’m now looking to grow further in junior coordination roles within film and TV, building on my hands-on production background and strong administration and operations experience.
