Personal statement

Outside of producing, I currently lead the research department for a globally operating business conferences company. I’m also a media and communications graduate with several production credits on different radio programmes, podcasts, and audio dramas. My internships at BBC 5 Live and BBC Radio 4 furthered my abilities to schedule and deliver broadcast-quality mixes as well as to work independently to detailed specifications. In the past, my experience has included training on-air talent and operating mixing desks, where possible I continue developing these skills by producing independent podcasts and audio dramas.
