I am organised and resourceful; punctual, professional and polite; and I have good interpersonal and practical skills. Also, I enjoy travelling and am willing to take on both short and longer term productions, working with just a presenter/subject or a full size crew. In short I am easy to work with, flexible and accommodating whilst still achieving artistic and captivating pictures & sound. As an experienced editor I always shoot for the edit and combine extensive technical and storytelling skills with great team work to make working with me fun, efficient and effective.
