About

I am a film industry professional with five years of freelance experience across film and HETV productions, primarily within post-production. Having worked as both an Assistant Editor and Post-Production Assistant, I have supported editorial workflows, media and asset management, delivery processes, scheduling, and a wide range of administrative and coordination tasks across diverse productions. Recognised for strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced creative environments, I enjoy supporting teams and ensuring projects run smoothly through to delivery. Experienced in collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders and coordinating complex workflows, I am now seeking opportunities as a Production Assistant, Creative Assistant, or Creative Coordinator where I can contribute my production knowledge, organisational expertise, and passion for storytelling within a collaborative creative team.
