To view my showreel go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnDgX79SukQI have been a journalist and tv producer all my professional life.I can enhance the product of any visual media using a wealth of experience in writing, shooting, editing, and producing. I began at the Financial Times, then CNBC and reporting, on camera, for Channel 5 but I call the BBC home.I have presented my own tv and radio show broadcast across the Arab world based in Dubai.I had six years in the BBC in London producing for, amongst others, the Today Programme on Radio 4, BBC 1's Breakfast show and output editing BBC World News' World Business Report. I was the based in Dubai as the BBC's Middle East Business correspondent filing for Middle East Business Report, BBC World News, BBC News 24 and the suite of BBC radio. After the BBC I produced Gateway To The Middle East for CNBC Europe, writing, reporting and directing weekly segments. I was Series Producer at ADMC making Inside The National, ADMC's only English language news show. I was Business correspondent for The National and currently work as a video journalist filing video reports from across the world as The National pushes its boundaries of digital story telling. In tv journalism it is not only the reporter that tells a story, it is every member of the production team, all the elements have to work together as a creative unit and only then will the final product achieve its potential.Making good television is not about the quality of images or the framing of the shot, its not about whether there is a big name interviewed in the piece, or if you have an "A" list voice providing the script.I am a journalist that creates what people want to watch. My experience with shooting and editing allow me to visualise how a project will look while my reporting skills allow me to craft the script alongside the images. My production knowledge then allows me to polish the words and images to create a sparkling final product.
Listed skills include Broadcast, Television, Video, Journalism, and 21 others.
