After working as an Assistant Director in Film and Television some of my greatest strengths are problem solving, multi tasking, keeping on schedule and doing so under immense pressure and constantly changing environments. I have also spent the past 10 years building up managerial experience across different environments.As the industry continues to change I have found myself drawn to change myself and looking to apply my skills to new industries or new aspects of filmmaking or film development. I am extremely passionate about art and storytelling, particularly through a visual medium and its accessibility. I hope expanding my skills beyond film and television production I can continue to contribute to art while also reconnecting with other interests such as travel, health and human connection.
