My start in cinema began with what was meant to be a temporary job after coming home from university, but now I don’t ever want to leave!I started working in cinema by cleaning screens and serving on the concessions counter, before moving onto the projection booth. Once I had been shown the basics of operating the projection equipment and building playlists, I knew I had found a job that I would enjoy. After being offered the opportunity to begin a new role within the Technical department, my remit jumped from helping to looking after 16 screens to over 1000 screens across the circuit. My role in the cinema industry is often challenging but never dull. I enjoy the variety that a career in cinema exhibition offers me daily. My main interest in cinema is providing a great experience that cannot be matched at home. Whether that is by giving excellent customer service on the concession stand, or by maintaining a high standard of presentation. I believe that cinema is special and anyone who works in the industry is incredibly lucky.The highlights of my career so far have included helping to open the first 4DX screen in the U.K and assisting with on-site training at subsequent openings. I have also enjoyed working high profile events and liaising with stakeholders from all corners of the cinema industry. From exhibitors, studios and hardware manufacturers.I am passionate about delivering technical support to the best of my ability. I also seek to empower other people with knowledge and experience that will benefit them and their teams in the future. I am also keen to learn new skills to aide my in advancing my career. I really do not like not being able to do something for myself.Outside of cinema and watching movies, I enjoy listening to music and attending as many live concerts as possible. I like to travel. The most memorable places that I have visited so far are The Great Wall of China and Hong Kong. I am constantly adding new entries on my list of places to visit. The top three currently are: the Pacific Northwest, Japan and Siberia!
