    I am an experienced Self-shooting AP. I have broad production experience, working as a Creative for Sky Television, production experience on BBC programmes, and a number of corporate productions. I have worked for Independent production companies including, Reef Television, Splinter Films, Pulse Films and Location Pictures.

    I started my career in 2005 at Boomerang Post Productions as an Assistant Editor on a series of programmes for the Discovery Channel. I have since worked for Reef Television Television on a twenty-five part series of programmes for BBC 1.

    In 2009, I worked for feature film director Paul McGuigan ('Lucky Slevin', 'Gangster No.1') on a number of music videos for Snow Patrol. I worked for Splinter Films, filming 'live' performances at the Royal Albert Hall, in addition to interviewing contributors and supporting artists.

    Work on feature films such as 'War House' (M.R Films) has significantly elevated my production values, both in lighting and camera technique.

    I have also worked on a number of corporate productions for clients including: The Ministry of Defence, Vodafone/Nokia, Renault Cars and Harley Street.
