Summary

My professional background to date has been in the commercial advertising industry, producing commercials and film content at a global company. As a producer working in a highly creative and competitive market, I have built a large skill set such as managing creative goals, budgeting and financial management, working to a schedule, delivering projects on time, high pressure environment and managing stakeholder expectations.

People skills include leadership of freelance crew on productions and fulltime staff in house, meeting challenges and empowering teams to work toward solutions. Supporting, mentoring and working as a team is an area I thrive in.
