Profile: I am bright, dynamic Producer /AP with a strong journalistic skillset who possesses significant experience in researching and producing. I have the ability to find new and interesting angles on stories.  I possess a very strong contact book for human interest stories, and have a great rapport with all contributors. I’m experienced in live and as-live studio production but am equally at home on location. I am always keen to learn new things, work well as part of a team, particularly thrive under pressure and always meet my deadlines.
