And here's a little more about me:
I was raised in Belfast, before moving to the bright lights of London to study Law with French at UCL. After graduation, I decided not to take the legal path well travelled, and follow my creative impulses instead. I worked in client services and production roles at top London advertising agencies JWT, AMV BBDO and Isobar, before joining MOFILM as Senior Producer in 2016. I was promoted to Head of Production in 2020.
From , I studied at the prestigious NFTS, graduating with a diploma in Script Development for Film & TV. I have subsequently worked as a freelance Script Reader and Development consultant for individual screenwriters and companies including Redrum Films, 4Stories, Thousand Films and Breakneck Films.
In my spare time, I am a keen singer and dancer, regularly performing with London musical theatre companies and choirs. I was a dancer in the London 2012 Olympic Ceremonies; and an All Ireland Irish Dancing Champion in my youth!
I am actively seeking roles in Development and Commissioning teams, working across Film and/ or TV drama. I am also open to Script Reading opportunities. I am happy to work full time, part time or freelance, so feel free to get in touch!
