Talent Executive and Producer

“My passion is finding opportunities for those who may face barriers and supporting them through their early careers. If you’re just starting out in the industry and need some advice, help with navigating the job market or searching for training opportunities, feel free to get in contact. There’s no such thing as a silly question! Or if you’re an established freelancer looking for advice on upskilling, switching paths or industry training, the door is always open.”
