I'm a Legal and Project Management/Production Hybrid
I have two degrees - Law (1st class) and BA (Hons) Film and Media with English (2:1). I love the challenge, rigour and creativity of law and the practical process of making things and solving problems, team work and beating impossible odds honed in film and tv production and publishing for major broadcasters and FTSE 100 publishers.
Having worked in TV as an Archive Producer and Production Coordinator for 15 years, I took the leap to study Law. I wanted to develop my skills and face new and bigger challenges. Four years later, I graduated with an LLB (First Class) whilst also holding down a full time job. Since graduating I've been lucky enough delivering two major UK cultural heritage digitisation and access projects for Tate and the British Library, creating and managing all aspects of the rights work stream. I've then grown my knowledge within the publishing sector, working for a major international educational publisher working on digital and print titles.
The broadcast years pre Law degree: After studying Film and Media with English, (graduating with a BA (Hons) 2:1), I was fortunate enough to be chosen as the production trainee for Scottish Screen's training programme, the official industry sponsored film and broadcast apprenticeship scheme. I worked on films and factual programmes, commercials and drama series, learning from some of the most experienced production teams around, about how programmes are made, the immense collaborative effort involved, and that, with good planning, a clear idea, a strong team and an insatiable work ethic you can start from scratch and deliver something to be proud of.
