What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an environment where I can exercise my skills, get creative, broaden my network, and take on other roles that leverage my skill set.

As a freelance 2nd AC camera crew member in London, I supported DOPs and camera teams across indie shorts, features, and commercials. I handled camera builds, on-set setups, and teardowns, and took care of gear logistics independently.

At Filmquip Media in Dubai, I handled gear logistics, repairs, and studio organization, and liaised with directors and clients to help keep shoots on track. I was also a camera trainee on the feature film نيمكلا Al Kameen.

At CSA/TM East of England Co-op., I learned store operations, including tills, stock, and service standards, and was trusted with Team Manager duties. I also served customers and covered team member duties during busy periods.

My work has also included supporting events with Bouquet Garni and representing UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX at events and open days. I’m looking for an environment where I can use my skills, get creative, broaden my network, and take on other roles that leverage my skill set.
