About me
I have over 10 years’ experience working within a variety of video production and media roles, which began with college education, and work experience at a film production company. I created an award-winning piece for a film competition whilst at college which was later used in the marketing campaign for Liverpool’s Capital of Culture year. In addition, I have a degree in Film production BA Hons, which enabled me to grow creatively, and develop my skills in all aspects of film production.More specifically, my work experience varies from Directing, filming and editing Community Theatre promotional pieces, to developing marketing campaigns and media content for corporations and filming music videos, events and documentaries for a variety of different organisations and platforms i.e. print, online and social media.
With a proven record and portfolio for creating engaging and innovative content which appeals to its given target audience - I am passionate about film and technology, and thrive when creating original, thought provoking concepts and exploring different genres, styles and ideologies.
I like to learn, and use my initiative, by finding new technologies and packages through market research. In an ever growing technological world, this natural interest and research has kept my pieces and knowledge current. For example I am self -taught in software’s such as Adobe after effects, to such a high standard I am able to incorporate it into my professional work.

Additional information:
Highly skilled with an array of photography, graphic design and editing equipment, technology and software; including Final cut pro, Adobe Premier, After Effects, In Design and Photoshop. Using these skills I am able to create high quality stills photography and graphic design work with creative flare. My attention to detail ensures all final products are proofread and finished to a professional standard.
Whilst promoting my own work and helping clients to develop, build and maintain an online presence, I have gained key skills in producing and maintaining social media accounts and websites. Working with emerging music acts and artists through Guerrilla Instinct Production, a production company I established to work with aspiring music artists - I have really been able to put this knowledge to use by helping various clients create an online presence to target respective online markets. This has enabled them to profit from their work and merchandise.
I’ve been described as a natural problem solver with a ‘’can-do approach’’, and have vast experience of working in stressful, pressurised settings. I enjoy working with hard to reach groups and have been praised for my ability to engage, motivate and encourage the best from clients I have worked with. My background in care has developed my people skills and I have high emotional intelligence, which helps me to read situations and people, and form pro-active working relations enabling me to build rapport quickly, which helps me to get the job done. I am also able to comply with Health and Safety regulations in group and lone working settings and confident in completing appropriate Risk Assessments for activities. I enjoy liaising and working with people from all walks of life – I have extensive experience of multi-agency working and maintaining positive relations with partner agencies which is displayed by work history.
