I’m a videographer and camera operator with hands-on field production experience, combining precise on-set shooting with quick, high-impact editing. I’ve worked on live, fast-paced sporting productions, operating Sony PMW500 rigs on shoulder and tripod, coordinating rig deployment, and taking direction through headset comms while maintaining strong health and safety standards. Alongside live coverage, I spearhead end-to-end video workflows for rugby club content—filming high-velocity action, directing talent to get energetic reactions, and editing cinematic highlight packages for feature commissions. I also create short-form vertical content for TikTok and develop educational resources inspired by youth culture trends.
