Advertising producer + Fact Ent production team experience. I'm keen to keep progressing these transferable skills (also interested in archive + research). My recent work includes researcher on an STV News campaign (including archive selection and dealing with contribs) and I was Production Coord for Tuesday's Child on Series 3 of Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig with duties including dealing directly with talent and their agents. This follows recently working on 33 episodes of Raise the Roof's 'Holiday Homes in the Sun'. I also have 5 years Creative Producer experience for advertising agency STV Creative - arranging and overseeing location shoots, animation projects and working with various channel departments (compliance, broadcast library, scheduling). Responsibilities included:

- Dealing with contributors, actors, VOs and agents
- Archive research and selection
- Crew, kit and location negotiation and booking
- Training junior members of team
- Rough cut edits, sizzle reel edits, animatic edits and temp VOs

On short-form drama, I've been a Co-ord on short films 'The Barber' (Moquette Films/MTP) and 'The Singer' (Lothian Films/MTP).

For Love Productions/Channel 4, I was a Production Team runner on The Biggest Little Railway in the World, and other runner work includes CBBC filming and Outlaw King casting. I live and work in Glasgow but can travel for involvement in different projects.

Scotlands Towns Partnership - Choose

Scotland's Towns Partnership wanted to highlight examples of the small town shops and business owners that need customer's help right now more than ever post-pandemic. We filmed on location to capture spur of the moment interactions between the shop owners and their customers, to look to capture the essence of the community shop experience and to prompt thought on choosing where you spend your money - by also featuring some portrait shots of the business owners and staff, welcoming people back, with safety guidelines in place, to their shops.

Visit Scotland - Responsible Tourism: Film 1

The first of two 60" Visit Scotland films I produced for STV Creative around the theme of Responsible Tourism - with more staycationing than usual this year, let's leave places we visit as we find them. Channel idents, sponsor bumpers, social media clips were also created and delivered as part of the campaign. An important message to get out there, and we loved working on this project.
