I bring to the table over twenty years of experience in the international media, creative

and entertainment industries. I began my career in the film/TV sector in production management and business affairs and expanded those skills

into talent and event management. Over recent years, I have further embraced the digital realm and moved toward honing my skills in that sector. I

love creating, collaborating and inspiring others and no job is too big or too small for me to get my teeth into. I have an excellent skillset that is

always hungry to be added to along with a good sense of humour and a can do attitude.
