What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on live events role where I can help with stage setup, microphone maintenance, light rigging/programming, and running shows—backed by reliability, teamwork, and great customer satisfaction.

I’m a technical assistant and general tech with hands-on experience setting up stages and running live production duties—rigging lights, setting up monitors and microphones, and assisting with show programming. I’ve also programmed lights and operated a show for an in-house production and multiple dance school shows.

At the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, I assisted with venue setup pre-festival and ran two venues during the festival, focusing on customer needs & satisfaction, equipment/props setup, show operation, and keeping venues clean. I’m also dependable in fast-paced environments, with experience as a Multi drop Delivery Driver via amazon, combining customer care, punctuality, and safe package handling.
