About me
I achieved a BTEC in Technical Theatre at New College Telford with a Merit in summer 2014. The course includes tuition on lighting and sound equipment,set and lighting design, props and stage management. I worked on many gigs at the college’s own theatre and at multiple venues outside college. Other
examples of recent experience include acting as lighting designer at The Place theatre in Telford, and as follow spot operator at Theatre Severn in
Shrewsbury. I was also involved in an installation that was set up at Blists Hill Museum during their 2013 Halloween event.
For the past two years I have been on the stage crew at the Shrewsbury Fields Forever festival, which involves rigging and de-rigging lights, staging and
sound equipment.
I have also done some television work as a runner and camera assistant.
I currently do paid casual work as an assistant tennis coach, a role which requires discipline, the ability to communicate clearly, and good people skills.
My current main area of expertise is in lighting, but I am always looking to learn more as I gain experience in other areas with different pieces of equipment,
and build on the skills I have already gained. I am hardworking, reliable and punctual, and can provide references/testimonials if required. I am keen to
develop my career in the technical set-up and management of events.
