About me
Early on in life, I loved entertaining the family, and started putting 'productions' together, from the age of 7 - directing my sisters with whatever we chose to do. Not wishing to be in front of the camera, or centre stage, this need to be creative was quashed until appearing on a quiz show, and realising that being creative behind the scenes, is exactly what I wanted to do. So, as a mature student, I went back to studying and undertook both a foundation degree in TV, Film & Radio Production and Performing Arts.I secured my first job in the industry, before I had finished my TV degree, and became the Assistant Producer of the Sky Poker Channel, where I eventually became acting Producer for 7 months, before leaving to pursue other aspects of production.
Being part of a production team, helping to bring things together, and seeing the finished article, is just the best feeling in the world.

Additional information:
Before getting into production, I gained experience in running a pet supplies business; office management; being a PA to A group of MDs; and a marketing assistant.
When I was studying full time, I was also working full time in the evenings, as a self employed taxi driver - so I have many years experience as a professional driver.
I have basic sign language skills, and conversational French.
I have also run an animal rescue, being one of three trustees, and undertook an animal management course. I can handle any domestic animals, and have extensive experience with the grooming of garden animals. I worked on a farm, in my teens, so am also at home with farmyard animals, and being welly-deep in manure!
