About
I am currently working as a senior VFX Coordinator with a solid background in post and production as an Editor, Junior Post Producer and Production Technology Engineer. Alongside this I've trained in IT, Networking and Cybersecurity as well as Hospitality and Sports at a national level. This diversity of experience outside of the industry along with tech and post across both scripted and unscripted TV and Film has been the building blocks of my transition into VFX where all of these lines converge to better facilitate the goal of helping to create better stories.
