Summary

I have been working in television as a post director, post producer and lead editor for over 20 years and take particular pride in the success of the programmes I have worked on. I am a driven and passionate person who loves visual story telling. I have vast experience in a variety of genres, including reality, actuality, crime shows, children's entertainment, drama and documentaries. Given the experiences afforded me in my career, I am used to working both in very large teams and independently on projects with tight deadline, which have offered many opportunities to learn. I work well under pressure and am an easy-going, friendly person who welcomes a challenge.
