About me
An APA qualified covid supervisor with five years experience in Broadcast Television and location and set fashion photography. Starting out as a Runner I am now in a Assistant Producer position, however no production is too small or too big to offer myself as a covid supervisor!In terms of Broadcast TV, I am a shooting AP with casting and story experience, having recently finished on the topical team at BBC Studios on The One Show. My passion is in both observational documentary and factual entertainment, working best when able to form close relationships with contribs in order to develop strong, natural content.
I find television a fantastic way to create a powerful impact on a societal level and I am very much interested in joining a high calibre production which aims to strive for change, whether on a environmental level, to increase the nature of community within society, or to raise awareness about any other worthy subject. As well as this, I aspire to be on the front line of a blue light series, and I am of course open to any other thought provoking and impactful docs and formats.
I am Albert sustainable trained, and can provide a certificate if needed
