About
I am a 2nd assistant sound for film and television. I received my training at the National Film and Television School in 2015-16 where I received a very good pass in the postgraduate diploma in Production Sound for Film and Television. Before this, I won the Senior Johnson Award for gaining the highest degree in the School of Historical Studies at Newcastle University where I achieved a First Class BA hons in Classical Studies.
I am skilled in concealing personal mics and sufficient at second boom operating. I also have experience working on musical films (including Cats, Mamma Mia! 2 and Pinocchio) and I have a good understanding of rigging personal mics and IEMs in motion capture suits, speaker wrangling, and the set up and maintenance of earwigs.
I also have training in Fisher Boom operating, and was a ScreenSkills sound trainee in 2017. To give back to the scheme I have been a mentor to two ScreenSkills sound trainees since 2019.
I am based in Hertfordshire, and also willing to travel. I have a full clean driving licence. I am a supplementary AMPS member.
